Team-taught by a historian and two master teachers (Andrew Torget, the University of North Texas; Jay Ferguson, Round Rock ISD; and Chassidy Olainu-Alade, Fort Bend ISD), this webinar explored how Texas farmers—following years of failing to get help from state politicians—finally broke into full-on political revolt over the problem of cotton and founded the Populist Party during the 1890s. This webinar was part of "Texas History: Cotton, Cattle and Railroads," an online professional development webinar series sponsored by Humanities Texas.
