¿en qué se diferenciaron los knights of labor de otros sindicatos tempranos?
they recruited immigrants only from europe
they united all workers regardless of race or skill
they successfully petitioned the government for change
they opened membership to skilled craftsmen only

Explanation:

The Knights of Labor stood out from other early unions like the National Labor Union (which excluded Chinese workers) and the AFL (which only organized skilled workers) because it opened membership to nearly all workers, regardless of their race, skill level, or gender (with the exception of Chinese workers). The other options are incorrect: it did not limit immigrants to Europe, it did not successfully lobby the government as a defining difference, and it did not restrict membership to skilled workers.

Answer:

They united all workers regardless of race or skill
