Enlightenment in the colonies
• Enlightenment had an elite following – wealthy, well-educated

• This is going to cause people to think different about religion( which will lead to questioning of the churches and church leadership)

• The colonists have also been fighting a war they thought would benefit Mother Britain and them
• There are is lots of new territory to govern, tax and control
• The PROCLAMATION OF 1763 draws a line in this new territory and says the Americans CANNOT move there ( they do anyway and suffer NA attacks… brits don’t help)
