Answer: political corruption and wealth disparity

Explanation:

This was the Gilded Age. Rich white men were finding oil and making insane amounts of money; they were building railroads and seemed to rule America, as the government was rife with corruption. So populism, which was rule by the majority of the people (and not just a select few corrupt government officials), became popular because the people were outraged against this corruption.

They wanted to band together because it was so polarized between them and the rich ruling class.
