Explanation

Farmers' Alliance, an American agrarian development amid the 1870s and '80s that looked to improve the financial conditions for farmers through the formation of cooperatives and political promotion. The development was comprised of various neighborhood associations that blended into three substantial groupings.  

Proponents of the political goals of the Farmers' Alliance associations found that, while they had the capacity to accomplish a few triumphs in nearby races, they were unfit to impact change on a national scale. Pioneers of the Farmers' Alliance subsequently in 1892 established an ideological group, the People's, or Populist, Party, to seek after these objectives, and the Farmers' Alliance blurred away.

an interest group is an organization whose members share common concerns, and try to influence government policies that impact those concerns. elected officials frequently complain about the influence of "special interests" on american politics.
