What was Thomas Jefferson's agrarian vision?
Thomas Jefferson was not for a "strong" federal government. He believed that a sufficient government was one that acted more as a go-between for the states, and not as much of a central authority. Thomas Jefferson believed that farmers were the most honest people because they had daily, direct contact with the world that God created, and therefore they had daily direct contact with God Himself. Jefferson considered farmers to be the "purest" people, untainted by trying to keep up with busy city life, and so they were the people that would keep the nation morally sound.
