Thomas Jefferson's presidency (1801-1809) helped solidify Southern dominance in federal politics by promoting agrarianism and advocating for states' rights, which resonated with Southern interests. His Louisiana Purchase expanded U.S. territory, providing more land for agriculture and reinforcing the South's economic interests.
