This era is one of the highlights of the United States history and it is also an era where the economy was on an all time high.First of all, you have to know why it is called the baby boomers generation and which people are included in this generation. The baby boomers generation is composed of people who were born between the years 1946 and 1964. Because of the significant increase in birth rate during this era, historians called it the baby boomers generation.
People who were born during this period have distinctive political views and cultural views. They grew up and participated in the civil rights protests, knowing about the American Military might and believing that the enemies were communists and socialists.
