Representing a hodgepodge of European religious traditions, they shaped the foundations of a new and distinct plantation society in the British-Atlantic world. The Lords Proprietors of Carolina made vigorous efforts to recruit Nonconformists to their overseas colony by granting settlers considerable freedom of religion and liberty of conscience. Codified in the Fundamental Constitutions of Carolina, this toleration ultimately attracted a substantial number of settlers of many and varying Christian denominations. In The Origins of Southern Evangelicalism, Thomas J. Little refutes commonplace beliefs that South Carolina grew spiritually lethargic and indifferent to religion in the colonial era. Little argues that pluralism engendered religious renewal and revival, which developed further after Anglicans in the colony secured legal establishment for their church. The Carolina colony emerged at the fulcrum of an international Protestant awakening that embraced a more emotional, individualistic religious experience and helped to create a transatlantic evangelical movement in the mideighteenth century. Offering new perspectives on both early American history and the religious history of the colonial South, The Origins of Southern Evangelicalism charts the regional spread of early evangelicalism in the too often neglected South Carolina lowcountry--the economic and cultural center of the lower southern colonies. Although evangelical Christianity has long been and continues to be the dominant religion of the American South, historians have traditionally described it as a comparatively late-flowering development in British America. Reconstructing the history of religious revivalism in the lowcountry and placing the subject firmly within an Atlantic world context, Little demonstrates that evangelical Christianity had much earlier beginnings in prerevolutionary southern society than historians have traditionally recognized"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000709486 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000709486 650_0 $$aEvangelicalism$$zSouthern States$$xHistory$$y17th century. 000709486 650_0 $$aEvangelicalism$$zSouthern States$$xHistory$$y18th century. 000709486 651_0 $$aSouth Carolina$$xChurch history$$y17th century. 000709486 651_0 $$aSouth Carolina$$xChurch history$$y18th century. 000709486 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aLittle, Thomas J.$$tOrigins of southern evangelicalism : religious revivalism in the South Carolina lowcountry, 1670-1760.$$dColumbia, South Carolina : University of South Carolina Press, [2013]$$z9781611172744$$w(DLC) 2013013550 000709486 852__ $$bebk 000709486 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://site.ebrary.com/lib/usiricelib/Doc?id=10783507$$zOnline Access 000709486 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:709486$$pGLOBAL_SET 000709486 980__ $$aEBOOK 000709486 980__ $$aBIB 000709486 982__ $$aEbook 000709486 983__ $$aOnline
