Answer: A

Explanation:

During the late 19th century, farmers created the farmer's alliance which was a group of farmers fighting for their respective rights as taxes and other things would increase which caused some farmers to go into debt. Therefore with the rise of technology, farmers knew that they could possibly be unemployed due to the amount of money that they would loose.
