1. Farmers in the late 19th century faced many hardships like low crop prices, high costs, and drought. They organized groups like the Grange to address these issues.
2. The Grange, formed by Oliver Kelley in 1867, advocated for farmers' rights and had over 1 million members. When it declined, the Farmers' Alliances continued its goals.
3. In response to economic troubles, the Populist Party was formed in 1892 with a platform including silver coinage and regulating railroads. It gained some political successes but ultimately did not last as a major party.

Realignment at Home and
Empire Abroad 1877 to 1900
• “[M]any influential Americans argued that
like European nations, the United States
needed to acquire territory overseas. By the
end of the century the nation’s political
system had taken its first steps toward
modernization at home
and abroad. They included a major political
realignment and a growing overseas empire.”

• Margins of victory in presidential elections very
close

THE VOTING PUBLIC
Between 1860 and 1910 the population of the United States increased nearly threefold
while the number of eligible voters increased over fourfold. But as reforms of the early
twentieth century reduced the power of political machines and parties to turn out
voters, the percentage of eligible voter participation actually declined in presidential
elections through 1912. Photo: Source: Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

What led to the rise of the Populist
movement, and what effect did it have?
1. Millions of Americans moved west after the Civil
War to pursue the American dream. A variety of
factors made their lives extremely difficult, which
led to the social and political revolt known as
Populism—and created one of the largest third
party movements in American history.
