Fighting Back: National Grange Movement, Munn v. Illinois (1 set 1867 ano – 1 set 1877 ano)

Descrição:

The National Grange Movement was a social and educational organization for farmers and their families. It was set up to defend members against middlemen, trust, and railroads. The movement established cooperatives, which were businesses ran by farmers that save the cost charged by middlemen. Granger laws made it illegal for railroads to fix prices with the use of pools to benefit privileged customers. In the Supreme Court case, Munn v. Illinois, the court helped their cause by upholding a state’s right to regulate business of a public nature, such as railroads.
