The American Federation of Labor is the full form of AFL, which was organized in the year 1886. The main goal of this federation was to coordinate skilled artists into national unions comprising of others in the identical business. The main objective of the AFL was not political and intended only at fewer working hours, raised wages, and safer working conditions. The main difference between the two can be seen in the fact that the Knight of Labors didn't focus on specific workers issues like the American Federation of Labor did.
