Taylor is best known for his attacks against what he considered aristocratic theories of [[Federalist Party]] leaders  [[Alexander Hamilton]] and [[John Adams]].  Taylor feared cities as cesspools of evil and ardently defended the honest independent farmer--called a [[yeoman]]. That required a prosperous agricultural economy so Taylor threw his energies into scientific farming that would reverse the damage done to the soil by heavy reliance on tobacco.
