Murray Family Story

Chapter 2: The American Revolution

The Awakeners were the prophet generation of the Revolutionary Cycle. A religious upswelling ( a spiritual event called the Great Awakening) occurred while they were becoming adults and swept the land. During that time these youth were known to condemn their own parents for a lack of piety. Later when they had become stern patrons, like Old Ben Franklin, they watched as a young hero generation S&H called the Republicans, born and raised in the shadow of the Great Awakening,  brought the colonies together during a secular event we all remember as the American Revolution, and wrestled independence from Europe.
