This document provides an overview of a syllabus for a course on the Revolutionary Generation in the United States from 1763 to 1815. It discusses the religious and ethnic diversity in the colonies, especially in the middle colonies, with immigrants coming from various parts of Europe and Africa. It also notes the high population growth during this time period, with the population doubling every 25 years, due to factors like immigration, low infant mortality, early childbearing, and abundant food. Finally, it includes a reflection from John Adams about the American Revolution being "effected before the War commenced" through changes in the "minds and hearts of the people."
