What impact did the Populist movement have on southern race relations?

The Populist movement drove an even larger racial divide among African-American and European-Americans. Based on the South's system, white superiority kept two groups who would have fared better as a solid unit, apart. Poor whites believed they were inferior in every other way to the wealthy of the south, but they were still white, and that afforded them a higher status than blacks. As a result, the Populist movement was restricted to only white farmers, and not their black counterparts.
