So for Jefferson and other agrarian-minded Southerners, farming was the only virtuous occupation for men, and the only occupation that truly allowed men to be free. Crafts, industry, and the trades made men dependent on bosses, customers, and suppliers, and created in men greedy, self-serving personalities. Further, for Jefferson, rural living was healthy; city life corrupting. For him, farming and the countryside were necessary preconditions for the growth of democracy. Of cities and government he wrote: "The mobs of great cities add just so much to the support of pure government, as sores do to the strength of the human body."7 In short, greedy, dependent, ambitious men were not the stuff from which democracies were made. The Republic would only thrive if the nation were an agrarian nation of farmers.
