Separate Baptists

The Separate Baptists are a group of Baptists originating in the 18th-century United States, primarily in the South, that grew out of the Great Awakening. Inspired by passionate, revivalist preachers like George Whitefield, they emphasized personal connection with God and spiritually invigorating services and were often victims of religious intolerance.
