Which of the following was NOT a result of the First Great Awakening?
  1. Spread of missionary efforts
  2. An increase in the number of colleges and universities
  3. An increase in trials for witchcraft
  4. Separation from established churches
Explanation
Answer: C - The First Great Awakening did not lead to an increase in witchcraft trials. The Great Awakening increased the appreciation for religious experiences and expression, and it was accompanied by acceptance for an expanded range of denominations and religious practices. While that did not include an appreciation for witchcraft, people were adhering to a less formal and strict interpretation of religion, and they were less inclined to persecute people whose views differed from their own.
