Jefferson believed strongly in agrarianism the economic policy that America should receive a substantial portion of it's income from agriculture. Jefferson also advocated Americans make their own clothes "homespun" from hemp they grew, in fact when he was governor of Virgina he required all farmers to devote 5% of their crop lands to growing hemp. This is an excellent example of Jefferson's wishes for America to be a strong independent andself sufficient nation, not dependent on Europe for necessities, which he felt would open us up to economic subjugation. He also imposed The Embargo Act specifically aimed at England and France in order to wage a sort of economic war, since they were at war and were largely dependent on new world imports. This act stated that ships would not be allowed to stop at any ports except those expressly authorized by the president at that time Jefferson. Jefferson was an amazingly brilliant man, and a strong an independent president, who advocated that Americans should be self-sufficient.
