In the 1730s, America's first great awakening shook the religious establishment and reminded ordinary people of their own spiritual power. In the early 1800s, the second great awakening gave birth to the abolitionist movement and the fight for women's rights. In the late 1800s, the Third Great Awakening produced the social gospel, which inspired the labor movement and the New Deal. And in the 1960s, the Fourth Great Awakening gave us the civil rights movement, liberation theology, and the Great Society. (08:07–08:16)
