That’s greater than 240 years of generations of people trying to define what it means to be an American‚ but few still stand true today from that long ago.

####### #### Professor AMH2010 20 November 2013 The First Great Awakening versus the Second Great Awakening When trying to define the great awakening‚ one would say it’s a period of time that consisted of numerous religious revivals that took place in American colonies during the 18th and 19th century.

First-generation students are the first in their families attend a post-secondary institution.
