Explanation:

In 1867, the National Grange (the Patrons of Husbandry) was formed as a response to the economic hardships faced by American farmers. It aimed to help farmers by providing a community - based support system, educational opportunities, and by advocating for policies beneficial to agriculture. Regional alliances were not the main response in 1867. Railroad rate protests became more prominent later as an issue. Pressuring state legislators was not the primary action in 1867.

A. join the National Grange
