The correct answer is **all of the above**. Each of the options provided reflects reasons why black and white farm workers and voters found common ground in the Populist Party:
1. The threat of racial segregation and white supremacy championed by the Democratic Party created a context in which alternative political alliances were sought.
2. The refusal of many white Texans to join black voters in the Republican Party reinforced the need for a third party that could address shared issues.
3. Shared agrarian anxieties about declining economic status provided a common ground for collaboration among these groups, despite racial divides.
Together, these factors contributed to the formation of a united front within the Populist Party against the prevailing political and economic systems of the time.
