The Populist Party, active in the late 19th century, is generally regarded as a failure by historians due to its inability to maintain a lasting political presence and its eventual dissolution in the early 1900s. Although it achieved some initial successes and brought attention to the concerns of farmers and laborers, it struggled to build a broad coalition across different social groups. Additionally, the rise of the Democratic Party and its adoption of some Populist ideas, particularly under figures like William Jennings Bryan, diminished the party's uniqueness and relevance. Ultimately, the Populist Party's goals were absorbed into the mainstream political discourse, but it failed to secure a sustainable political legacy.
