The Grange movement among farmers was similar to the labor unions because they both opposed and sought an end to coercive practices by the owners of capital. Farmers fought against monopoly in the form of railroad pricing. Labor unions fought against the owners of mills and factories. Cooperation, ownership of mills and factories, and political action through the election of representatives to state and federal office who were sympathetic to their platforms informed the Grange. The principles of cooperation, ownership of the means and modes of production, and political action informed both movements.
I am pretty sure that it is A. Republicans believe that there should be less government so that they will be more freedom. If you are ever stuck again just think of the civil war. The south wanted more state's rights and the north believed in a stronger government. Notice how in the south, the states tend to be republican states, while in the north tend to be more liberal (democratic).
It was the German instrument of surrender
