Answer:
During the late 19th century, the Farmers Alliance and the Populist Party had similar political goals, as both aimed at promoting benefits for farmers from the rural areas of the United States.
Explanation:
The Farmers' Alliance was a peasant organization founded in Texas in 1877, that soon spread to other states of the South and Midwest, especially Kansas and the two Dakotas. At the end of the 19th century it already encompassed the entire country and by 1900 it had a million and a half members. When in 1890 Congress rejected its proposal that the Treasury grant credit to farmers at 1 percent interest - and that they be allowed to store their grain in government silos - the Alliance members organized themselves politically to defend their interests and helped to found in 1892 the Populist Party.
