13. Populist Policies - Primary Issues. opposed tariffs, monopolies (railroad), sought government ownership of communication, transportation, credit with low-interest rates made available to farmers

14. Immigrants who arrived in America during the 1800s often faced prejudice and mistrust. Many had to overcome language barriers. Others discovered that the challenges they had fled from, such as poverty or religious persecution, were to be encountered in America as well.

15. The 1896 election is called an 'emotional' election year and it lead to significant changes that still have an impact on American politics more than 100 years on. During the Gilded age of America, US politics were at a stalemate with slow reform and no political party wanting to take a huge risk to get things done. The election was the first time that a proper media campaign took place for just not the presidential candidate but even for the nominee of a party. Hence, the democrats and Republicans went head-on, competing with one another and even raising some issues that the Populist party had highlighted. As such, America's third party, the Populist completely lost support and ceased to exist as a national party after the election. With very little support, they did not even have a regional presence. The Populist party ran on issues of economy and believed that the common good was above racism, something that did not catch on with a lot of people, especially in the South. In all this, the Republicans, which were once seen as the bastion of labor and liberty turned into a party for corporations and industry. The effects of this election can still be seen today, with a strict 2 party system in the US and republicans being seen as the party for business.

14. Immigrants had to face a large multitude of challenges from the masses a a whole. Language barriers were one major problem, as the immigrants did not speak English, so it was difficult for the to adjust to the Americas in any way, as they had no way of knowing what was going on as they didn't speak the language. Another major challenge was discrimination and abuse. Nativits did not take kindly to immigrants as they thought that they would be loyal to their home countries, so immigrants had to face a large number of racial abuse and, in some cases, lynching. Another problem they faced was poverty and unemployment. Immigrants tended to cluster together where housing could be afforded, which tended to be in the poorer areas, so they face lots of poverty, and resistance to American culture left them unemployed as they refused to adjust to life in a new area.

15. The election of 1896 could be considered a turning point as many people began to believe that it was time for a change. Republicans selected William McKinley and were standing by their gold based currency and high tarrif policies, while Democrats selected William Jennings Bryan and were defending silver based currency. Republicans won by only a million votes, but Bryan "earned more total popular votes than any other presidential candidate in American history to that date." Bryan only lost because some Democrats backed gold based system. Later, a Yukon Gold Rush and Spanish-American War gave the economy the boost it needed to recover, so populism began to fade. Populists began supporting Democrats and were drawn into the growing two-party system. The Party began to decline, so the Democratic Party absorbed many of its policies and voters. Because of this Democrats were viewed as being in favor of working class, while Republicans were for the elite and wealthy. Though populism faded, most of its polices succeeded and were eventually adopted or similar plans were adopted. The silver-to-gold currency ratio, and putting an end to national banks failed, however.
