Populist Party is a political party that was created in the late 1800s by American farmers. The principal goals of the party were: direct election of senators, government ownership of rail roads, telephone, telegraph, etc, and graduated income tax.
The five specific problems that led to the formation of the Populist Party are:
corruption in voting, silencing of public opinions, isolation of voters, denial of unionization and large number of poor people in comparison to the rich.<span />
“The following statement about the disenfranchisement of African Americans in the South which is true is that white voting officials administered difficult literacy tests to African American voters. Since African Americans were denied the same standard of education as American Whites, when offered literacy tests they often had trouble completing them. The voting officials were aware of this, but did it anyways, as it was another way for them to hinder African Americans from voting and from entering the larger society.”
