American politics became very complex as a result of the French Revolution. Factions aligned themselves a pro-Revolution or Anglophile as the politics suited them.

Just one example, Google the Citizen Genet Affair.

Poor ol' Tom didn't foresee the dark and violent turn the Revolution would take or the landmines it created in American politics.

Jefferson was all on board with the French Revolution, and people were trying to warn him it wasn’t all it was cut out to be and that he was making a mistake to support it.
