The Great Awakening led to a significant increase in the number and influence of the Baptists, especially in the Chesapeake region. They were able to attract many converts who were seeking a more emotional and personal religious experience than what was offered by the established churches. Brown University was actually founded by the Rhode Island Baptists, but this was not directly related to the Great Awakening. The Baptists did not become the strongest sect in New England, as the Congregationalists remained dominant there.
