Answer:

Question 1) The first such group to appear was the Grange or Patrons of Husbandry, founded in the 1860s to address farmers' grievances againest the railroads and desire for great cooperation in business matters. The agrarian-dominated Greenback party followed in the 1870s.

Question 2) Indeed at the close of the 19th century of graetest agricultural expansion, the dilemma of the farmer had become a major problem. Several basic factors were involved-soil

exhaustion, the vagaries of nature, overproduction of staple crops, decline of self-sufficiency, lack of adequate legislative protection and acid.

Question 3) Bimetallism and "Free Silver" were demanded by William Jennings Bryan who took over leadership of the Democratic Party in 1896, as well as by the Populists, and a faction of Republicans from silver mining regions in the West known as the Siver Republicans who also endorsed Bryan.

Question 4) In the South, the Civil War and its aftermath caused trouble for farmers, many of whom were sharecroppers, meaning that they did not own the land they farmed and remained mired debt owed to the landowners. Smallholders also faced difficulty obtaining affordable loans.
