The first Great Awakening brought people to have a religious revival, which was needed in order for the churches to maintain membership. There were attempts by the Puritan church to gain members, by offering the Half-Way Covenant, which allowed people to join the faith without being visible saints. The Great Awakening helped to create a sense of shared American identity. The Awakening created the first thing that the colonists could unite under, religion. The churches also benefited from the profits of the traveling ministers, these ministers being the first Evangelists. The Great Awakening was a multitude of pastors that would slowly bring their sermons from colony to colony. This was not the first awakening, however, but this was the foremost religious occurrence that took place before the Revolutionary War.
