The People's Party, also known as the Populist Party, was considered successful as a third party in U.S. history because it gained significant support from farmers and laborers in the late 19th century. The party managed to influence major policies and bring attention to issues affecting the common people, such as advocating for the coinage of silver and other pro-labor reforms.
