The Missionary Generation is the first post-Civil War American generation. Missionaries' youths are marked by labor strikes, student rebellions on campuses and increasing levels of immigration. Missionaries lead a number of moral crusades such as the Temperance movement against drinking, which eventually transforms into the far more radical Prohibition movement. This generation is the predecessor of today's Baby Boomers as the Missionaries are concerned with changing consciousness and moral crusades.
