Was the farmers alliance politically active?
Yes and no. The Farmers' Alliance thought of themselves as a political education group, and wish to influence politics, but they remained avowedly non-political. The subject came up for debate often in local meetings and in Alliance newspapers, with farmers repeatedly pledging to remain a education group. They looked down on politicians trying to rise through the Alliance as overly ambitious (as the founders understood the word) and would not run any members for public office. When members of the organization wanted to become politically involved, it cause a giant rift in the Alliance, with the political agitators forming the politicized Populist Party (or People's Party), and the non-political members absconding. Again, its a difficult question, but inherently the FA was not a political entity as we understand them today.
In the late 1880s the farmers alliance?
Farmers dealt with drought and competing foreign markets in the 1880s thus leading to the farmer's alliance. It was basically a radical movement in the south and west in which farmers in 'farmer's clubs' joined to create a political party. This party believed in cooperating--co-ops would buy supplies in bulk and then distribute them to members for fair prices. The party realized it needed to take political action because it felt there was something radically wrong with the federal monetary policy. They officially formed a national party in 1892 in St. Louis, Missouri. Their nat. convention was then held in July in Omaha in which they elected General James Weaver. He was unsuccessful. ^^I guess that's what you get out of APUSH baby! woohoo :)
