1) Besides their hatred of the Vietnam War, what was it about growing up as a “baby boom child” that made so many want to revolt in the late 1960s?

To seek for social, economic and political equality and justice.

Explanation:

The BABY BOOM period in US was experienced after the World War II, when about 65 million babies were born in the United States. This Baby Boom period was caused by various factors, amongst which are:

1. Young couples starting families after putting off marriage during the War,

2. Encouragement from government for growth of families through the aid of GI benefits,

3. Popular culture that celebrated pregnancy, parenthood, and large families.

However, a few years after, there exist a Boomer counterculture, in which, as the child of the Baby boom era grew older, they began to sought for social, economic and political equality and justice for many disadvantaged groups.

Hence, besides their hatred of the Vietnam War, growing up as a “baby boom child”, social and legal injustice, economic and political inequalities, and continous racial abuse made so many want to revolt in the late 1960s.
