THE THIRD PARTY SYSTEM AND THE GILDED AGE Includes the nature of politics following the Civil War and Reconstruction and the impact upon it of economic change and industrial development. Were the contests between Republicans and Democrats in this period merely struggles for place and patronage between groups of professional politicians, or did they reflect broader social conflicts How do we explain the high level of popular participation in politics Did the period’s reputation for corruption reflect reality - or just the disgruntlement of traditional elites Jean H.

POPULISM Includes not only the history of the People’s Party in the early 1890s but also a consideration of the much broader and long-term phenomenon of agrarian protest movements in the United States. To what extent have these manifested an indigenous form of anti-capita<strong>list</strong> ideology with broad popular appeal Or are they better understood as an angry and incoherent response to economic change The historiographical controversies show that these questions have had more than merely historical significance for American historians. 23
