I have no problem with his endorsement of the French Revolution...it’s a shame that the French mishandled their opportunity, but Jefferson was consistent in his desire for a non monarchical government of, by and for the people. He actually had some part in encouraging the French Revolution while minister to France, he returned to the U.S. right at the beginning of the French Revolution.

You should have a problem with the French Revolution, given the genocidal and pro-secularist policies of the Jacobins.
