Question 8 • United States History

How did the Knights of Labor impact the Populist movement in the late 1800s?

Answer
A
The Knights of Labor were a factor in the formation of the Populist Party in the late 1800s.
B
The Knights of Labor led to the 1890 election of William Jennings Bryan in the late 1800s.
C
The Knights of Labor were involved in the creation of granges and farmers’ alliances in the late 1800s.
D
The Knights of Labor led to the widespread circulation of free silver coinage in the late 1800s.

Explanation

The Knights of Labor organized workers and supported cooperation between laborers and farmers, whose concerns helped fuel the Populist movement. Their influence was one factor in the formation of the Populist Party, so choice B is correct. The Knights did not create the farmers’ alliances, and William Jennings Bryan was not elected president in 1890.
