Answer 2

Answer:

Populism was rooted in farmer discontent. Farmer's Alliances unified farmers from the South and the West. They were organized locally, sometimes regionally, but they could not organize on a larger scale. Farmers knew that they needed more influence in the government at the state and local levels. The need for a new political party rose as farmers felt that Democratic/Republican parties and businessmen/bankers/the landowning elite did not represent them. The Populist Party was formed in 1891. Factors that lead to its formation were deflation, labor unions' support, and people's distrust of the main political parties.
