Supporting the nomination of William Jennings Bryan as a democrat was both a positive and negative development for the People’s Party.
<u>Explanation:</u>
People’s party was found by the leaders of the Populist Movement which worked to safeguard the rights of farmers. It was formed in 1891 and in the presidential elections of 1892 its candidate James B Weaver got 8.5% votes. This attracted political attention towards the people’s party.
Democrats were impressed by the ideals and support gained by the People’s party they succeeded in gaining the support of People’s party in 1896 presidential elections when William Jennings Bryan was the Democrat candidate. Getting folded up to the Democratic Party increased the political exposure of People’s party.
The fusion wasn’t a healthy decision considering the scenario in the south. Approaches of Democrats were completely racist which meant there was a conflict between ideologies between the two parties. The influence of People’s Party was over by 1908.
I live in Texas and because of that is that New Mexico and Texas once shared the Pecos river but New Mexico decided to build a dam and hardly let a little flow so that's why Texas doesn't have that many natural rivers or lakes and plus there is more than one natural lake in Texas
