The Burned-over District refers to western and central New York during the early 19th century, known for intense religious revivals and a hotbed of social reform movements like abolitionism and women's rights. It earned its name from the "burning" zeal of the religious fervor that swept through the region, leaving communities spiritually transformed and receptive to new social ideas. This area played a crucial role in shaping American religious and social history.
