Quoting from a pbrower post to Current Anomaly: Five Generations Alive. Note the letter designations for generational archetypes: I = Idealist, R = Reactive, C = Civic, and A = Adaptive.
"...the Progressive generation, which had initially been brought up with many Civic characteristics, found its proclivities blunted as the Gilded took on the Civic role. The Progressive Generation took on an Adaptive character."
The generations as they are described after the Civil War:
"Transcendental (I ousted, and having taken on some R traits)
"Gilded (C in practice but with some residual R traits)
"Progressive (A in practice but with some residual C traits)
"Missionary (I, with little ambiguity)"
