Whitefield preached historic reformed theology- very close to John Calvin, which was as unusual then as it is today. He also spoke with great passion and eloquence, it has been said that when he spoke it was 'all light and heat'. But the real source of why Whitefield's preaching was so powerful was certainly that he was a true Christian. No one could ever fault his character.

Loyalists- colonists who were loyal to Britain. Patriots- colonists who wanted to be free from Britain.
Did king george the 3rd start the American Revolution?
No, he was simply the British King. By this time in History government was being devolved to ministers and parliament. Although King George II was the last British King to lead his troops in battle (Minden, Germany 1759) the effects of the American Revolution on George III were probably a matter of an insignificant colony a very long way away. Although he may well be the focus of the Colonists discontent, I do not think that the King was the cause of it. Obviously the war of revolution was fought against the British Crown, the British & Loyalist forces in North America would believe their fight was a 'legal' one, the colonists thought different.
