Line 115: Line 115:     
The Grange Movement reached its zenith (peak) in 1875.  It then began to decline as its activists started more powerful organizations: the Greenback Party (in the 1870s), the Farmers' Alliances (in the 1880s) and the Populist Party (in the 1890s, which eventually joined with the Democratic Party).
