QSTPS WITH GOOGLE AI OVERVIEW - GENERATIONS OF THE 1700S THAT ARE ALL IN HEAVEN
The 1700s encompassed several key generations, notably defined by Strauss and Howe's theory: the Awakening Generation (c. 1701-1723), the Liberty Generation (c. 1724-1741), the Republican Generation (c. 1742-1766, witnessing the American Revolution), and the Compromise Generation (c. 1767-1791, involved in nation-building). These groups experienced major shifts like the Enlightenment, the American Revolution, and early industrialization, moving from colonial life to independent nationhood, shaping distinct societal values and experiences across the century.
Key Generations of the 1700s (Strauss-Howe Model)
- Awakening Generation (c. 1701-1723): This generation came of age during religious revivalism and early Enlightenment thought.
- Liberty Generation (c. 1724-1741): Shaped by growing colonial identity and Enlightenment ideals, they were the young adults during the French & Indian War.
- Republican Generation (c. 1742-1766): Known as "Heroes," they experienced the American Revolution and fought for independence.
- Compromise Generation (c. 1767-1791): "Artists," they were crucial in founding the U.S. Constitution and establishing the new republic, balancing revolutionary fervor with practical governance.
Societal Shifts & Themes
- The Enlightenment: This intellectual movement emphasized reason, individualism, and skepticism, influencing revolutionary ideas and governance.
- The American Revolution: The Republican Generation directly participated in the fight for independence, leading to the birth of the United States.
