It’s true that Jefferson wanted the US to remain an agrarian economy and buy our manufactured goods from Europe. But Jefferson changed his minds when in his words “the unbelievable happened” and Europe cut us off from manufactured goods.
That’s the point where he realized that America needed a strong manufacturing base to survive as a free state.
That’s a lesson that has been lost on our free traitors. And it’s one of the reasons, I favor having high import tariffs.
Import tariffs lesson our dependence on other countries.
that didn’t happen. jefferson was a francophile, a utopian, a wreckless innovator, he probably committed cowardice before the enemy, and if he was alive today, he would be bernie sanders.
you need to read up on TJ. I would start with his second term as president.

If the federal government was ONLY funded by tariffs you can also bet you bottom dollar that the borders would be patrolled like they are supposed to be since any smuggling of people/goods would be undercutting the money that makes it to Washington D.C.
