Answer 1

The Colored Farmers' National Alliance was formed as a response to the exclusionary policies of the Farmers' Alliance. It provided an opportunity for African American farmers to come together and advocate for their rights and improve their economic conditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Colored Farmers' National Alliance was formed in response to the exclusionary policies of the Farmers' Alliance. Black farmers founded this organization in 1886 in Texas and it quickly grew to have as many as a million members at its peak. The Colored Farmers' National Alliance provided an opportunity for African American farmers to come together and advocate for their rights and improve their economic conditions.

While the white Farmers' Alliance often ignored the concerns of black farmers, there were instances where both white and black farmers shared the same concerns and worked together. For example, they united to boycott jute producers and made their own bags from cotton when the jute producers conspired to raise prices.

The Colored Farmers' National Alliance was a significant organization for African American farmers and it played a role in shaping the Southern political landscape during the late 19th century.
