apr 7, 1801 - Jefferson's Agrarian Vision

Description:

*After Thomas Jefferson's election in 1800, he immediately went into action and showed that he really did believe that the land was a way to make America thrive.* Thomas Jefferson thought that instead of having merchants and a lot of rich people, which could create a problem, that he wanted America to be made up of small self-sufficient farmers. A society where everyone is hard working and the economy would thrive. The only problem is he needed to expand his country.
