Toward the end of the 14th century AD, a handful of Italian thinkers declared that they were living in a new age. The barbarous, unenlightened “Middle Ages” were over, they said; the new age would be a “rinascità” (“rebirth”) of learning and literature, art and culture. This was the birth of the period now known as the Renaissance. For centuries, scholars have agreed that the Italian Renaissance (another word for “rebirth”) happened just that way: that between the 14th century and the 17th century, a new, modern way of thinking about the world and man’s place in it replaced an old, backward one. In fact, the Renaissance (in Italy and in other parts of Europe) was considerably more complicated than that: For one thing, in many ways the period we call the Renaissance was not so different from the era that preceded it. However, many of the scientific, artistic and cultural achievements of the so-called Renaissance do share common themes–most notably the humanistic belief that man was the center of his own universe.

After the populist achieved some success on a local level in the late 1800s, they set their sight on adopting much of the People's Party's platform.

<h3>What was the populist party?</h3>

The party sprung out of the Populist Movement which was a politically oriented coalition of an agrarian reformers in the Midwest and South that advocated a wide range of economic and political legislation in the late 19th century.

During the 1880s, these local political action groups known as the Farmers’ Alliances sprang up among Midwesterners and Southerners as they were discontented because of crop failures, falling prices, and poor marketing and credit facilities.
