What successes and failures of early reform movements influenced the creation of the Populist Party?
Here is the brief history of emergence of populists which covers
the success and failures of reform movements,
As the People’s Party(populists) nominated James B. Weaver, a
former US representative from the state of Iowa, as its candidate
in the 1892 presidential election. Campaigning on a platform
designed to strengthen farmers and weaken the monopolistic power of
big business, banks, and railroad corporations, the People’s Party
garnered 8.5% of the popular vote, carrying the states of Colorado,
Idaho, Kansas, and Nevada.
Because of the mass appeal of the Populist movement, the Democratic Party began to champion many of its policy goals. In the 1896 presidential election, the Democrats nominated William Jennings Bryan as its candidate, and the Populists agreed to support him. The People’s Party was thus folded into the Democratic Party and began to fade from the national scene.
The effect of the fusion of the Populist Party and the Democratic Party was a disaster in the South. Though there had always been conflict within the Populist movement about whether African Americans should be included, the Democratic Party in the South was unabashedly racist. Though Bryan performed strongly in the areas of greatest Populist influence, he lost the election to Republican William McKinley.
The People’s Party continued to function and fielded candidates in both the 1904 and 1908 presidential elections, but the heyday of the party’s influence was over. Although the People’s Party was formally disbanded in 1908, the Progressive movement would take up many of the goals and causes of Populism, including anti-trust legislation, greater federal regulation of private industry, and stronger support for the nation’s agricultural and working classes.^55
