A NATIONAL ECONOMY
In 1800, 94% of Americans lived in communities of less than 2,500 Middle states:
Four or five families would farm the same piece of land for themselves or others
Most crops were grown for home use, and most goods such as clothes and tools were made at home
Surpluses were sold within the local community (only 20% were sent out of town)
