Ch 26 (12th edition) essay

Can anyone help me do this essay? Here's the prompt:

Why did free silver become the key issue of the Farmers' Revolt? What other issues were important to them? Explain why populism cam down to a single-issue movement by 1896 and how this fixation may have harmed their cause?

Thanx in advance, :)

Free silver was advocated by the farmers because it was cheaper than gold, plus it inflated the currency which helped the debtors (mainly farmers). The issue was supported by the newly formed Farmer's Alliance and the Populists.

Hope that helps!! Good luck!!
