How did the ideas associated with the Great Awakening and the Enlightenment (including republicanism and liberalism) challenge traditional religious, social, and political life in the British colonies?

The set of ideological premises of the War of Independence is very heterogeneous. For many years, traditionally the central place has been given to the Enlightenment by analogy with the usual view of the Enlightenment as the ideological basis of the French Revolution. However, in recent years, increasingly more attention of researchers has been attracted by changes in the mass consciousness of the colonists and the radicalization of religious life as a result of the first Great Awakening that swept all British colonies in North America in the 30-50s of the 18th century. and proceeding in parallel with the Enlightenment movement. For the first time, the inhabitants of the colonies, professing various religious views, experienced a general spiritual upsurge, a severe emotional shock. The liberating effect of religious renewal was experienced by both the top and the lower classes of colonial society, for whom “wild” exaltation meant a temporary release from everyday routine of hard work and gaining a vital core, confidence. The colonies had not seen anything like the Great Awakening in its scale and degree of influence on society.

It became the first movement in American history to be truly intercolonial in nature, contributing to the formation of a single religious and partly ideological space in British America. Awareness of the community of religious experiences gradually turned into an awareness of the community of interests. Becoming the first joint spiritual experience, the Great Awakening marked the beginning of the process of forming a community of colonists - the future American nation.

Explanation:

the beginning of the iditarod trail sled dog race. the iditarod trail sled dog race first ran to nome in 1973.   the trail they used is today known as the iditarod trail, first surveyed by the alaska road commission in 1908 and now one of the national historic trails as so designated by the congress of the united states.

what inspired

the children of nome were dying in january 1925. infected with diphtheria, they wheezed and gasped for air, and every day brought a new case of the lethal respiratory disease. nome’s lone physician, dr. curtis welch, feared an epidemic that could put the entire village of 1,400 at risk. he ordered a quarantine but knew that only an antitoxin serum could ward off the fast-spreading disease.the nearest batch of the life-saving medicine, however, rested more than 1,000 miles away in anchorage. nome’s ice-choked harbor made sea transport impossible, and open-cockpit airplanes could not fly in alaska’s subzero temperatures. with the nearest train station nearly 700 miles away in nenana, canine power offered nome its best hope for a speedy delivery.sled dogs regularly beat alaska’s snowy trails to deliver mail, and the territory’s governor, scott c. bone, recruited the best drivers and dog teams to stage a round-the-clock relay to transport the serum from nenana to nome. on the night of january 27, 1925, a train whistle pierced nenana’s stillness as it arrived with the precious cargo—a 20-pound package of serum wrapped in protective fur. musher “wild bill” shannon tied the parcel to his sled. as he gave the signal, the paws of shannon’s nine malamutes pounded the snow-packed trail on the first steps of a 674-mile “great race of mercy” through rugged wilderness, across frozen waterways and over treeless tundra.even by alaskan standards, this winter night packed extra bite, with temperatures plummeting to 60 degrees below zero fahrenheit. although every second was precious as the number of confirmed cases in nome mounted, shannon knew he needed to control his speed. if his dogs ran too fast and breathed too deeply in such frigid conditions, they could frost their lungs and die of exposure. although shannon ran next to the sled to raise his own body temperature, he still developed hypothermia and frostbite on the 52-mile leg to tolovana before handing off the serum to the second dog team.
