What accounted for the tremendous appeal of the Great Awakening to colonists in the later half of the 1700's and who were some of the leaders of that movement?

George Whitefield and Jonathan Edwards

Explanation:

The First Great Awakening was a period when spirituality and religious devotion revived in the colonies during the 1730 and 1740. This movement came to exist when preachers travelled one town to another town by spreading the words of their God.

Jonathan Edwards became one of the popular preachers who delivered the most famous sermons to the public called Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God. He also wrote volumes of journals, sermon and observations.

George Whitefield, an evangelist, preached, which helped to spread the Awakening in the colonies. He delivered emotional sermons where he would weep, shout, and shake as he spoke of God. The preaching by Whitefield was for people to look at their souls and turn toward God.
