Question

In the late 1800s, the Populist movement arose out of the concerns of

the wealthy.
the middle class.
farm workers.
factory owners.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: farm workers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Populist movement, also called The People's Party, arose in 1891 because the agriculture sector of America didn't feel like their voices were being heard. A big part of the People's Party was composed of the Farmer's Alliance, which was established in Texas 15 years prior to the formation of the Populist Party. The main reason behind this movement was to protect the farmers against the intentions of the banking elite.

A few years later from its foundation, the Populist movement allied with the labor movement and together formed the Democratic Party.
