Abstract:

The Great Revival of the 18th and 19th centuries saw a radical change in the attitude of North Carolina from Godlessness to religious enthusiasm. Aside from this significance, the movement produced a curious phenomenon which has fascinated psychologists ever since -- \"exercises.\" The exercises of revivalists are described as \"falling down,\" and later \"jerking,\" acts supposedly brought on at the height of religious frenzy during an evangelist's sermon.

The author tells the story of a cabin boy’s conversion to Christianity in Wilmington, NC and How that may have later affected China’s history through his prominent children.
