13. Farmers
Farmers in the late 1800s were concerned with runaway inflation, which hurt crop sales.
Farmers wanted “free silver” because they felt it would increase the amount of money in circulation.
Creation of machinery would reduce the amount of workers needed for farms. This would lead to urbanization.
