Question

1. what was the main goal of the farmers alliance?○ to create a new government based on farming○ to keep farmers from planting cotton○ to help struggling farmers make a profit○ to unite southern farmers against those in the west

Explanation:

The Farmers' Alliance, a late 19th-century American agrarian organization, focused on addressing the economic hardships faced by farmers (like low crop prices, high transportation costs). Its core goal was to advocate for policies that would help these struggling farmers become profitable, such as cooperative purchasing, crop storage, and political reforms to regulate railroads and banks. The other options are incorrect: it did not aim to create a farming-based government, restrict cotton planting, or pit southern and western farmers against each other (it actually united farmers across regions).

Answer:

B. to help struggling farmers make a profit
