After achieving success at the local level in the late 1800s, Populists aimed to expand their influence by seeking broader political reforms at the state and national levels. They advocated for policies such as the direct election of senators, government ownership of railroads, and the establishment of a graduated income tax. Additionally, they worked to unite various discontented groups, including farmers and laborers, to challenge the dominance of the established two-party system. Their goal was to create a more equitable economic system and address the grievances of the working class.

Why was the Populist Party created in the late 1800s?

During the late 1800s the Populists were the only political group that was taking the time to talk to the people and answer their questions and concerns directly. The people were very leery of the democrats and republicans. This helped the Populists gain support from the people during this time period.
