True. The problems of small farmers didn't much matter whether one was black or white. Tenant farmers in the South had some unique problems, though, not faced by farmers who owned their own land.
You're correct! The statement is true. The Populist movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States indeed made significant efforts to bring together black and white small farmers under a common political and economic agenda. The Populists aimed to address the grievances of farmers, including issues like high tariffs, railroad rate regulations, and monetary policy reforms. They recognized that the concerns of both black and white farmers were similar, as they often faced economic hardships and unfair treatment. The Populist Party sought to bridge racial divides and build a coalition of working-class Americans in their pursuit of agrarian and political reform.
