THE ALLIANCEThe Alliance fought for an 8-hour workday. This group wanted local banks to control money instead of national banks. The farmers of the Alliance believed if they worked together, they could make farming more successful. They tried to open their own store that sold goods to farmers at reduced prices. Members also opened their own mills so farmers could get their products ready to sell without spending a lot of money. The group also tried to use their power to change laws. The group worked together, but slowly fell apart.THE GRANGEIn 1867, Oliver Hudson Kelley thought an organization could help farmers improve their lives. He thought farmers should form fraternal orders (clubs for men with common interests). In 1868, Oliver started a club for farmers. He called it the Grange. The word "grange" come from the Latin and old English words "grain" and "granary," a place to store grain. The farmers created Granger Laws to fight unfair charges by railroads. They also pushed for state laws that supported steady wheat prices, fair mortgage pricing, and low freight, or cargo prices. The Grange helped the farmers to buy things like grain elevators, cotton or tobacco warehouses, and steamboat lines.

The Southern Farmers Alliance, unlike the other alliances in the north and the mid-west excluded black farmers from their organization. This exclusion led to African American farmers making an alliance of their own.
High prices for supplies contributed to the creation of the farmers alliance.
