MAP 11.1 Religious Movements in the Burned-Over District, 1831–1848 Western and central New York State were burned over by the fires of religious revivalism in the 1830s and 1840s. But numerous other religious groups also formed or flourished in the region at the same time, including radical Quakers, Mormons, and Millerites. In the 1840s, Fourierist phalanxes, the Oneida community, and other utopian experiments also flourished here. Source: Whitney R.
