Contributions to Democratic society

Both Immigration and the Awakening had an affect and a contribution to the slowly rising democratic society.
Immigration helped diversify colonial society, which in turn helped diversify ideas, languages, and religions. The basic definition of democracy is a government controlled by the people of different races. Immigration also helped to bring on the Great Awakening, which brought on new ideas and began the rise of several religious denominations. These new ideas, religions, cultures, and languages brought about a more democratic society than anyone had seen before. However, these new aspects of life do not necessarily mean that America all of a sudden became more domcratic. A series of Great Awakenings over a fairly long period of time helped bring this about. Therefore, Immigration and the series of Great Awakenings only made America's society into a more democratic society to a limited extent.
