Later, as the French Reign of Terror progressed, Jefferson denounced the atrocities of Robespierre and other French radicals, but he continued his support for, and remained committed to, the success of the French Revolution.[14]

Adams was right.

Were it not for the French blockade and defeat of the British Fleet, Washington would not have cornered and then defeated Cornwallis at Yorktown.

Washington’s success over Cornwallis was the direct and strong result of “a foreign entanglement”

Honestly, if it were me in Jefferson’s position and I saw the Bastille parade back then, I if anything would state that this was NOT what America fought for, and even go so far as to specifically cite John Adam’s handling of the Brits during the Boston Massacre as what the American Minutemen did. I’d outright denounce it as mob rule, and advocate for a far better way to do reforms.

I would NEVER support the Revolution precisely BECAUSE I’d realize from that it was pure garbage from the get-go from seeing severed body parts being paraded around.
