Immigration and The Great Awakening.

During the 18th century immigration affected modern day America democracy, the back bone of the country, more so than The Great Awakening did. Immigration to the colonies allowed for different ideals, religions, and cultures to mingle. Immigrants came to the colonies in an attempt to seek freedom, which most would find, at least to an extent. The diversity and understanding of one another's cultures led to a view of overall equality. This view became the most important aspect of American government. Although The Great Awakening brought out religious zeal and only delayed the total understanding that would greatly assist the American Revolution. Although the slaves at the time were not considered equal, there was a greater diversity in the colonies than any other place in the world.
