 With this revival, many towns started seeing a high conversion rate, with one church receiving 95 new members on one Sunday alone. As the Great Awakening spread, it was estimated one half of all living in the South were led to salvation, and one third of everyone living in the North. Among New England's population of 300,000, approximately 25,000 to 30,000 joined the church, helping to change the entire moral tone of New England for the better.
