A few suggestions:

  • In the "New England" section, is "...the renewed interest in religion inspired a wave of social activism centered in the colleges where religion had previously been disregarded..." intended to refer to all New England Colleges, or merely to the ones that were disregarding religion. (Were there any? My understanding was that most New England colleges founded before 1800 were for the training of ministers, and both Dartmouth and Harvard were still primarily involved in this effort about this time.
  • It would be useful if we could have a brief timeline page for each of the Great Awakening entries. Someone (Robert King?) has written an excellent template for listing this. For an example, go to Civil society and click the timelines page. See the edit version [1] for the code. All four Great Awakening articles could probably refer to the same timeline.
  • This entry also needs some External links and a Related Articles page and then it should be ready for approval. Roger Lohmann 07:39, 27 July 2008 (CDT)
