| | Populist Party Platform |
 | | In the 1890s the Populist Party appeared to represent a viable third party independent of the Democrats and Republicans. | | | A response to the growth of industrialism, the Populists opposed the "concentrated capital" of banks and big businesses and decried the many of the effects that industrialism was having on American society. |

| | The 1890's was a time of unrest in America with corrupt politicians, an agrarian downturn, and other problems. | | | The decade of the 1890s is quite compelling; it represents the high flowering of an older, quaint America together with social, political, and intellectual trends that would move the nation rapidly into the modernity familiar to us today. | | | To author Henry Adams, the country in the 1890s was deteriorating into a miasma of ailments; contemporary pessimists have their own list of societal complaints. |

| | Recent Literature on American Populism |
| | In the names of Jefferson and Jackson, Populist leaders invoked a mythic agrarian past; their platforms also prefigured major reforms of the Progressive Era and the New Deal. | | | The Populist movement of the 1890s can serve, for historians, as a window on both old and new. | | | Thus the People's Party deserves attention not only as an "agrarian crusade," but as a reflection of the many issues brought forward in the 1890s by industrialization, social dislocation, and political change. |

| | The Populist Movement and the Struggle for Reform in America |
| | In order to challenge the Democratic and Republican parties, the Populists would have to win the support of both White and Black farmers, industrial workers, small businessmen, and even women. | | | In the early 1890s, worried farmers in the West and the South formed the Populist party, hoping to win control of state and federal government and use that control to protect their farms and way of life. | | | The Populist political movement began as a movement of Western and Southern small farmers in the 1880s. |

| | It was probably in 1896 that he attended music classes at George R. Smith College in Sedalia, an institution for African-Americans established by the Methodist Church on land donated by daughters of the town’s founder. | | | This technical deficit did not prevent him from developing as a composer. | | | Since the college and its records were destroyed in a fire in 1925, we have no evidence of the extent of Joplin’s studies, but anecdotes suggest that until the end of the 1890s he still lacked complete mastery of music notation. |
