During Jefferson’s presidency the cities were, largely in the purpose of -coast, commerce, and center- trade. Trade was utmost system during these eras. The main cities that were involved were Boston, New York, Newport, Philadelphia, and Charles Town. These five largest cities were commercially centered for this exchange and trade for goods and products, internationally across the seas and Atlantic ocean. However, they also served as defense during crisis times and for any imminent invasion. If today’s life feels more in the cities, these capitals were also the core hubs for social, political, religious and urbanity for one’s life.
