Worldwide overproduction leads to a drop in prices for most agricultural products in the late 1880s. Farm families are painfully aware that something is wrong, but instead of blaming the glut of products on the market they tend to blame the railroad, the banks, and the government. The discontent among farmers and the social and a political upheaval on the Great Plains is part of a larger feeling of discontent among other groups in the United States at the end of the 19th century. And yet, in just a few short decades the West has become bound up in the economic interests of the nation. The people of the West are not always satisfied with their role in this equation, but they are nonetheless essential to it.
