ABSTRACT
In the first decades of the nineteenth century, most Americans believed that this would continue to be a predominantly agricultural nation. During those same decades, a dialogue between urban and rural spokesmen became increasingly evident. Migrants from smaller towns are often uneasy in bigger towns, and even large cities may have rural qualities that some of their citizens point to with pride and satisfaction. The dialogue continues to be fateful for how Americans regard their cities and for the form of certain urban institutions. Early Versions of the Rural-Urban Dialogue the Political State of Agriculture and the Pleasures of Agriculture during the early nineteenth century, southern plantation agriculture went into a decline, mainly because of its impoverished soils. The agriculture of the United States, found itself in the happiest situation for prosperity imaginable, at the end of the revolutionary war. Trade is the general name of distribution, and may be united with producing.
