Abstract
As the 1700s begin, a new force-the spirit of enlightenment with its emphasis on science and reason- competes with the religious messages of George Whitfield and the first Great Awakening. The movement surfaces in the mid-Atlantic colonies and soon spreads to New England, but it will be decades before it reaches the South because of its criticisms of slavery and the emphasis of church over family. The issue of slavery also poses a challenge to 18th century enlightenment, but from the perspective of social and economic development rather than morality.
