A fraternal org of white farmers and other rural southerners, including teachers, ministers, and physicians, the Farmers' Alliance began in TX in the mid-1870s and swept across the entire South during the late 1880s. The organization attempted to solve the mounting financial probs of southern farmers by forming coop purchasing & marketing enterprises. It advocated a federal farm-credit and marketing scheme called the subtreasury plan. (1 janv. 1875 – 1 janv. 1892)
