Contributions for a More Democratic Society

Immigration caused a need for a more democratic society while the Great Awakening proved colonial capability for one. At this point, colonial society was made up of a wide variety of ethnicities, and religious denominations, obviously brought on by immigration. Colonial society also lacked, for the most part, class rankings and a dominating titled nobility. A variation of people would naturally push for equal rights and opportunity which would be classified as a democratic society, and so it was. The Great Awakening allowed American society to break sectional boundries and denominational lines, thus unifying them, which also contributed to a more democratic society. The Great Awakening was partially brought on by continuous immigration but both had their part in securing a democratic future for the colonies.
