What economic problems led georgia farmers to support the populists?

there was a sharp decline in the income at a time when their living and operating farming costs were rising.

At that time, the populist party promise to eliminate foreign land ownership and give the ownership to the farmers. If this happen, the farmers would obtain the full profit from every harvests that they get from the farm. This will massively increase their income.

Because of this aligning interest, large number of farmers supported the populist party in Georgia.

du boi was considered a radical because he wanted the immediate end for segregation. the biggest different between him and booker t. washington is that, even though washington believed that segregation should be considered illegal, he did not believe at all that a law was needed to keep blacks away from whites and that this would be something natural (to have the races apart) for a long time until society adjusted, while du boi believe that agitation was the only way to end segregation.
