populists and populist movements  

Definition(s)

  • THE ORIGINS OF American populism, and the first manifestations of populist movements, can be found in the various regional farmer revolts of the 1880s. The National Farmers Alliance, and other alliance organizations, such as the Southern Alliance and the Colored Farmers Alliance, emerged to lead campaigns against the oppressive economic circumstances that affected American agriculture following the Civil War.
