The development of these religions is what gave
the southeastern region of the United States the

Tent revivals were religious meetings that were
meant to increase peoples interest in religion.
Most revivals took place in camp meeting grounds,
which were outdoor meeting places for the
religious services.

The revivals helped the Methodist churches grow.
The first camp meeting in Georgia was in Hancock
County. Many, many people attended, and so the
meetings continued, laying the foundation for
religion becoming important in Georgia.

Anglican Church

The Anglican Church was a part of the Church of
England. Anglicans were some of the first
settlers in Georgia. In fact, after the American
Revolution, they were the biggest religious group
in the state.

Because Georgia was no longer ruled by the
British, Anglicans changed their name to state
their break from England. Today they are known as
the Episcopalian Church.

a duty to provide education to everyone.
Everyone! EVERYONE!!!!!

our lead and built public universities as well!
