Many Northerners were happy that free states now had more representatives in Congress. However, many were also upset with the Fugitive Slave law.
This law, that was part of the Compromise of 1850, made it so that any slave that escaped to the North must be returned to their owner in the South. Many northerners thought this was unfair and did not want to follow this law. This is because almost all northern states had outlawed slavery by this point and time.
Answer:
The Farmers’ Alliances were not successful in influencing national farm policy in favor of farmers and needed to form a national political party as a result.
Explanation:
The Farmers’ Alliances were formed in 1875. in hopes to improve the economic conditions of agrarian workers.
The movement was made out of a few separate organizations -
- whites on the South had the National Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union
- in the Midwest, there was the National Farmers' Alliance for both white and black farmers
- African Americans on the South had their own Colored Farmers' National Alliance and Cooperative Union
As the economic movement, this Alliance didn't have much success. It wasn't united or influential and didn't have much of a political impact.
<u>That is why, finally, Alliance decided to turn into the political movement with its own political candidate. In the early 1890s, Alliance formed the Populist (People's) Party which fought for the ideas of the Alliance, but with the political background and force. </u>
