Generations don’t mean the same thing to everyone. In fact, as we’re living through real-time events, we rarely ever consider how people 100 years from now will look back and view our current actions. Human behavior has always operated with this lack of foresight. And that’s why I started “Jigsaw Gens” — my anthology series on how generational perspectives have shapeshifted.

To launch this anthological work, I tracked the eight main generations who have emerged from the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries…

Hemingrebels | GI-Gens | Traditionalists | Baby Boomers

GenXers | Millennials | Zoomers | Alphas

Starting with Reconstruction and working backwards, I’ve been profiling earlier generational cohorts who’ve grappled with the Civil War, the Revolutionary War, and prior conflicts. The twelve generations I’ve presently mapped out:

Missionaries | Stowegressives | Golden Renegades | Redeemers
