SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Following the collapse of Reconstruction in 1877, African Americans organised a movement - distinct from the white Populist movement - in the South and parts of the Midwest for economic and political reform: Black Populism. Between 1886 and 1898, tens of thousands of black farmers, sharecroppers, and agrarian workers created their own organisations and tactics primarily under black leadership. As Black Populism grew as a regional force, it met fierce resistance from the Southern Democrats and constituent white planters and local merchants.
