They appealed to peoples racism.

Explanation:

Populism started to arise around the 1880s and many African Americans joined them, especially the Populist Party. This party was a major political threat to the Democratic Party in the South. If the poor white joined the African Americans the Democratic Party would not have more chance against the Populists.

With that, the Democratic leaders appealed to racism, making it harder for African Americans to vote and appealing to people’s racism so they would not join forces.

when people started to question traditional christian beliefs, they became criminals in the eyes of the church: they were accused of heresy and then, executed. the church held unbelievable power and anyone who tried to defy it or its beliefs, was demonized and persecuted.
