The burned-over district of New York was a time and a place where Americans took God into their own hands and radically reimagined what Christianity and spirituality were all about. Learn how the spontaneous uprisings and communities of upstate New York affect the religious landscape of America today.
Part 1 covers initial European settlement in North America; the origin of puritans, Pennsylvania, and quakers; the Longhouse religion of Handsome Lake; and the socio-economic conditions that allowed the burned-over district to flourish.
