This renewed spiritual interest and fervor occurred in particularly high concentration in central and western New York where men and women actively sought spiritual awakening and new religious affiliation. Contemporary observers referred to the region as \"burnt\" or \"infected\" with religious enthusiasm; historians now refer to as the Burned-over District.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e \u003cbr\u003e New York's Burned-over District\u003c\/i\u003e highlights how Christian revivalism transformed the region into a critical hub of social reform in nineteenth-century America. An invaluable compendium of primary sources, this anthology revises standard interpretations of the Burned-over District and shows how the putative grassroots movements of the era were often coordinated and regulated by established religious leaders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart I: Settlement\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e1.
