Jefferson understood the difference between revolt against an authority never consented to and one freely consented to and thus would never have gone along with the hotheads leading the South into disaster because they didn’t like the president elected. Elected mainly because of the stupidity of the slavers. I must say this was one of the most lunatic of ruling classes only topped perhaps by the boneheaded Russian nobility.
Luther Martin was in no way irrational in his hatred of Jefferson. He knew of his dishonesty and duplicity. Martin was also a Federalist after the new government began to work.
Martin's hatred of Jefferson was anything but rational, regardless of what he thought about Jefferson personally (come to think of it, there seem to be tinges of irrationality in your own insult-laden position on Jefferson. Why is that?). Martin's dislike stemmed almost entirely from a silly personal dispute between the two men after Jefferson published a pamphlet that insulted Martin's late father-in-law over complicity in an Indian massacre on the frontier in the 1770's. He became a Federalist in repudiation of Jefferson as a result, but was at odds with virtually all of the Federalist platform.
