The populist movement, particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, significantly influenced American politics by highlighting the struggles of farmers and working-class citizens against industrial elites and monopolies. It led to the formation of the People's Party and introduced progressive reforms such as the direct election of senators and various economic regulations. The movement also laid the groundwork for later political movements by emphasizing issues of inequality and social justice, ultimately shaping the modern Democratic Party's platform. Its legacy continues to resonate in contemporary populist movements that seek to address the concerns of marginalized groups.

The populist movement grew out of the Farmers' Alliance that began in the 1870s. When the Farmers' Alliance moved into formal politics, it did so as the People's Party.
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.
