The National Farmers' Alliance was an organization formed in the late 19th century to advocate for the rights and interests of farmers in the United States. Established in 1880, it aimed to address issues such as low crop prices, high railroad rates, and the need for better access to credit. The Alliance sought to unite farmers across the country to strengthen their bargaining power and promote cooperative buying and selling. The movement eventually led to the formation of the People's Party in 1892, which aimed to represent the interests of farmers and laborers in politics. The National Farmers' Alliance played a significant role in shaping agricultural policies and raising awareness about the challenges faced by rural communities during that era.
