The Farmers' Alliance was a significant movement in the late 19th century aimed at addressing the economic challenges faced by farmers in the United States. Formed in the 1870s, it sought to unite farmers to promote their interests, advocate for better prices for crops, and push for reforms in the banking and railroad industries. The Alliance emphasized cooperative buying and selling to improve farmers' financial situations. As the movement grew, it led to the establishment of the People's Party in 1892, which aimed to represent the interests of farmers and laborers in politics. The Farmers' Alliance played a crucial role in raising awareness about the struggles of rural communities and influenced various reforms in American agriculture and politics.
