Answer 2

The correct answer is B) more focused on cooperatives.

Compared to the Grange, the Farmer’s Alliances of the late 1800s were more focused on cooperatives.

The Farmer’s Alliance was an agrarian movement created in 1876 in Texas, that aimed to increase and improve the economic situation of farmers in the United States with the formation of cooperatives. The Alliance supported collective actions through cooperatives and political participation. To reach a larger audience in the United States, in 1892 members of the Alliance formed the Populist Party, marking the end of the Alliance.
