Question

Did farmers and workers who appealed to the federal government for help during the 1890s depression receive aid?

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

Farmers and workers who appealed to the federal government for help during the 1890s depression did not receive the aid they needed to sort out the economic struggles during the depression of 1893 that hit hard in the United States.

The speculation of American railroads had been one of the major causes for the beginning of the depression in 1893.

American farmers asked for support and economic relief from the federal government but the government could not help, showing its inefficacy to answers citizens' demands in times of so much need. Many members of the government were just interested in their own personal agendas and political interests.

That is why people such as Jacob Coxy started a protest forming the Coxwy's Army in 1894. A group of workers organized a demonstration and marched from Cincinnati to Washington D.C.
