What was the knight of labor and what success did it have in improving working conditions?

The Knights of Labor was a labor organization founded in 1869 that sought to unite all workers, regardless of skill level, race, or gender, to advocate for better working conditions, fair wages, and an eight-hour workday. It gained significant influence in the 1880s, leading successful strikes and campaigns that improved labor conditions for many workers. However, its impact diminished after the Haymarket Affair in 1886, which led to a decline in public support and internal divisions. Ultimately, while it raised awareness about workers' rights, its long-term successes were limited due to various challenges.
