The term "burned-over district" refers to the western and central regions of New York State in the early 19th century, where religious revivals and the formation of new religious movements of the Second Great Awakening took place, to such a great extent that spiritual fervor seemed to set the area on fire. Charles Grandison Finney (1792–1875) popularized the term: his posthumous 1876 book Autobiography of Charles G. Finney referred to a "burnt district" to denote an area in central and western New York State during the Second Awakening:

  • Le terme burned-over district est une expression américaine pouvant être traduit par « district incendié » qui fait référence aux régions de l'ouest et du centre de l'État de New York au début du XIXe siècle, où les réveils religieux et la formation de nouveaux mouvements religieux du Second Grand Réveil ont eu lieu, à tel point que la ferveur spirituelle semblait mettre le feu à la région. Ces faux mouvements ont créé des sentiments d'appréhension envers les réveils dans lesquels Finney était influent en tant que prédicateur. (fr)
