In the late 1800s, organization among farmers led to the formation of various alliances and cooperatives, such as the Grange and the Farmers' Alliance. These groups aimed to address issues like unfair pricing, high railroad rates, and access to credit. They advocated for political reforms, including the regulation of railroads and the establishment of a more equitable monetary system. This collective action ultimately contributed to the emergence of the Populist Movement, which sought to empower farmers and give them a greater voice in government.
