The Articles of Confederation primarily focused on establishing a framework for governance rather than addressing specific regional economic issues like those faced by southern farmers. However, southern farmers benefited from the Articles' emphasis on state sovereignty, which allowed them to maintain greater control over local affairs, including agriculture. Additionally, the lack of a strong central government meant that southern states could prioritize their agricultural interests without interference from federal regulations. Ultimately, while the Articles did not specifically cater to southern farmers, they indirectly supported their interests by promoting state autonomy.

The Farmers Alliance was formed to try to help farmers to become profitable again after the Civil War. 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.
