Final answer:

The Knights of Labor declined due to violence associations and internal disputes after initial success.


Explanation:

The Knights of Labor experienced a decline after a few successful strikes. While they initially grew significantly in the early 1880s and advocated for worker solidarity and rights, their association with violence, specifically the Haymarket Square protest in 1886, led to a rapid decline in membership to about 100,000 by 1889. Internal disputes between skilled and unskilled workers further contributed to their downfall.
