Question

What was one reason why the Democratic Convention in 1896 was a turning point in American political history?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Populist Party abandoned its support of the Democratic Party.

Explanation:

• The election of the Democratic Party in support of the Democratic Party candidate was the result of the party’s former chief ruling term.
• After the 1896 election, the Republican Party dominated United States elections and political history after seven consecutive presidential victories (Moore, Hemelin, Johnson, Brunsman, & McPherson, 2015).
