Greenbackers, Knights of Labor, and Populists

The book explores the often-overlooked intersection of late-nineteenth-century southern agrarian revolts and labor insurgencies. While historians have extensively examined groups like the Farmers' Alliance and the Knights of Labor separately, Matthew Hild argues for a deeper understanding of how these movements influenced each other. By analyzing their convergence, the work sheds light on the broader socio-political dynamics of the era, offering new insights into the struggles for economic and social justice in the South.
