The Rise of Populism

Reminder: What was the Gilded Age? Period of great growth / immigration in the USA Large issues with poverty and inequality

Did Washington need to be reformed during this time? Many people believed D.C. to be corrupt Credit Mobilier Scandal fuels speculation Corporations too powerful Civil Service Reform to fix the “spoils system” Political Pressure led to consumer protection laws: Sherman Anti-Trust Act (weak)

Turn and talk – What do you see? Think – Pair – Share In your groups analyze the cartoon and then share out as a group

What were some changes in Rural America The Grange was created to unite farmers politically Granger Laws were passed to help farmers combat the powerful railroads The Grange eventually falls apart and is replaced by The Farmer’s Alliance

What did the Farmer’s Alliance want? Low interest loans for farmers Higher prices for their products

Did Reformers Start a Political Party? Called the People’s Party (Populists) Formed to represent average American instead of Big Business Proposed Changes: Silver Standard!!!! 8 Hr Workday Immigration Restrictions Regulation of railroads Income tax Direct election of Senators Populists lose election of 1892 / 1896 but their ideas gain wider acceptance (next unit)

Round Table Collaboration In your groups, each person takes a turn adding a comment or idea related to the topic below: “Populism changed ___________” OR predict: “Populism is going to change___________” Once you rotate through once, continue until no one can add anymore information. Create a list

Turn and Talk: #1) What do you see? #2) What does it suggest?

The Cross of Gold Speech Take the summary of Bryan’s speech and mark up the text. (i.e. underline important parts, make notes in the margin, connect ideas to other things we have learned about) Then, look at the political cartoon: OOPS the cartoon! O – Observations in the cartoon O – Outside info that helps explain the cartoon P – Perspective or bias in the cartoon S – Summary explain the cartoon in your own words

Today’s Activity: Part 2 After looking at pages 128-132 and getting more information on this time period you will… 1) Write a song about Populism….BUT….you need to use the tune Twinkle Twinkle Little Star 2) Create another song using Mary Had a Little Lamb 3) Work on your study guide if you finish early
