How do the farmers unite

Page history last edited by Mr. Hengsterman 10 years, 1 month ago

1867- Oliver Kelley started the first National Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry AKA the Grange it began as a non-political group whose goals were to stimulate farm families (social, educational, and fraternal) Milton Grange

Munn v. Illinois (1877) – Railroad discrimination against farmers led to pro-farming legislation in the Grange Laws. These laws were challenged by large corporations, but the Supreme Court ruled in favor of state regulation because it had a direct effect on the general public. In its ruling, the court upheld the right of state legislatures to regulate railroad rates.

Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific RR Co. v. IL (1886) – Reversal of 1877 decision, only the federal government was declared able to regulate interstate commerce.
