Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is true. The Knights of Labor were founded in 1869 and grew rapidly in popularity, but by the 1890s, the American Federation of Labor (AFL) had become the dominant national labor union. The AFL focused on organizing workers by trade, rather than industry or region, and emphasized collective bargaining and better working conditions rather than radical social and political reform like the Knights of Labor.
