George Whitefield was an even better preacher, perhaps the finest preacher of all time in the English-speaking world.  Known as the "Great Itinerant," he drew enormous crowds for his sermons as he did seven tours through the colonies from 1740 to 1770.  He would simply arrive at a public place, like the Boston Commons, and many thousands would come to hear his sermon.  They didn't leave disappointed.

Not all was well for everyone in the colonies during the Great Awakening.  During this time [[South Carolina]] had grown heavily dependent on slavery to pick its crops and sustain its economy.  By the late 1730s South Carolina had twice as many slaves as free Europeans.  In 1739 tensions between the slaves and their masters reached a boiling point in the Stono Rebellion in Charleston.  This insurgency by the slaves was brutally suppressed, and then South Carolina passed harsh laws (codes) to exercise even more control over the slaves.  More so than any other colony (and later, more than any other state), South Carolina was determined to keep and use slavery.
