The '''burned-over district''' was an area of [[New York]] state that experienced a number of religious revivals during the [[Second Great Awakening]]. The area encompassed the central and western areas of the state which had seen significant levels of religious [[evangelism]] in the early 19th century. A number of religious groups were formed in this area, including the [[Latter Day Saints|Church of Latter Day Saints]] and [[Robert Matthews|The Kingdom]]. The term came from historian Charles Finney who wrote that the area had no fuel (converts) left to burn (be converted).<ref>http://www.crookedlakereview.com/books/saints_sinners/martin1.html Martin, John H (2005).
