Explanation:

1. For the National Labor Union: It pushed for 8-hour workdays, higher wages, better working conditions, and political reforms like ending child labor. It failed to achieve most goals and disbanded by the 1870s due to economic downturn and internal divisions.
2. For Knights of Labor and AFL: The Knights of Labor was a broad, inclusive union (skilled/unskilled, women, Black workers) focused on cooperative workplaces and social reform; it declined after the 1886 Haymarket Riot. The American Federation of Labor (AFL) was a coalition of skilled craft unions, focused on practical, incremental gains (wages, hours, safety) via collective bargaining, and it became a dominant labor force.

Answer:

1. The National Labor Union hoped to secure higher wages, shorter work hours (specifically an 8-hour workday), improved working conditions, and political reforms such as ending child labor. They were not successful; the union withered away by the 1870s, failing to achieve most of its core goals due to economic crises and internal weaknesses.
2. - Knights of Labor: A large, inclusive union that welcomed skilled and unskilled workers, women, and Black workers. It advocated for cooperative workplaces, social reform, and an 8-hour workday, but declined sharply after the 1886 Haymarket Riot.

• American Federation of Labor (AFL): A coalition of skilled craft unions that focused on practical, incremental gains (higher wages, shorter hours, safer conditions) through collective bargaining. It avoided broad social reform and became the leading labor organization of its era.
