Populism

In this article, they talk about how historians believe that populism was antidemocratic and dangerous. I believe that having that particular social group is greatly important. They are just like the thousands of other groups formed because a group of Americans dissatisfaction with the direction of the country, just as the Ku Klux Klan or the American Temperance Society were. America has always been a nation where people could speak their minds, and though they may of had some radical ideas, like the demands for the remonetization of silver or the government warehouse, their intentions of trying to keep and heighten the lives of farmers were reasonable.
