Why was the farmers' allience formed?

The Farmers' Alliance was formed in the late 19th century as a response to the economic struggles faced by farmers in the United States. It aimed to address issues such as low crop prices, high railroad rates, and mounting debt. By organizing collectively, farmers sought to improve their bargaining power and advocate for reforms, including the establishment of cooperatives and the regulation of railroads. The movement ultimately laid the groundwork for the Populist Party and broader political action for agrarian interests.
