What did the Populists propose in the Omaha Platform?
Nationalizing the country’s railroad and telegraph systems to ensure that essential services would be run in the best interests of the people
Establishment of a network of federally-managed warehouses-called subtreasuries—which would extend government loans to farmers

Republican and Populist calls for currency change
William Jennings Bryan’s “cross of gold” speech
A surge in support for Populists in the Northeast

Why were workers compelled to form labour unions as industrialization increased in the latter half of the 1800s?

In 1892, the People’s Party
Garned over 1 million votes (and 22 electoral votes) in the national election

How did railroad owners, and state governors typically react when workers went on strike in the late 1800s?
They negotiated with the workers for better working conditions and pay.
They called in the state militia, or federal troops to break the strike.
None of the above.
They shut down the railway lines in sympathy.
