If I recall correctly, part of this goes back to the Federalists. I'm almost positive it's one of the main reasons Alexander Hamilton has been thrust forward with that godforsaken musical in Broadway.
Jefferson on the other hand was a member of the Democratic-Republican Party, who wanted to return back to the free state model. "liberalism, republicanism, individual liberty, equal rights, decentralization, free markets, free trade, agrarianism, and sympathy with the French Revolution"
I'll cut him some slack on that, given the timeframe. Lack of hindsight and some limitations on available information (due to distances, travel time, etc).
Plus, regardless of the later ramifications of the French Revolution the French nobility at the time were notoriously fucked up and gave absolutely zero shit about the people. Absolute degenerates that share a lot in common with today's modern elite.

To be honest, that doesn’t exactly sound good either.
