Identifying Non-Populist Proposals in the Omaha Platform

Hard Period 6: 1865–1898 Populist Movement

The Populist Movement, also known as the People's Party, emerged in the late 19th century, largely in response to the economic struggles faced by farmers and working-class individuals in the United States. The movement aimed to address issues such as the monetary policy, railroad regulations, and land ownership. The 1892 Omaha Platform was a key document outlining the goals of the Populist Party, advocating for a range of reforms including the direct election of Senators, a graduated income tax, and the regulation of railroads.
