Thomas Jefferson is well known as the author of the Declaration of Independence, the Third President of the United States, and an ardent defender of the Constitution, but his real passion was for agriculture. In his Notes on the State of Virginia, Jefferson wrote, "Those who labour in the earth are the chosen people of God, if ever he had a chosen people."

This conflict over whether the United States should pursue an economy based on agriculture or manufacturing was one of the key differences between Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton.
