Be largely agricultural and rural.

The Republicans or Democratic-Republicans were formed under the leadership of Thomas Jefferson out of the ideals of the Anti-Federalists who emerged during the Constitutional Convention.

The Republicans wanted a government that was small and state centered. They also believed the future of the US economy was in farming. Farming produced hard working citizens focused on creating a strong foundation of leadership and morals. Jefferson believed that people who owned land and worked hard to produce from their land would be the best citizens.
