Best Answer

There was a strong political divide in the United States as to how to view the French Revolution. At the beginning, the majority perspective was positive, seeing the French Revolution as being parallel to the American Revolution. The minority perspective, which became more popular later, was that this upsurge against the traditional order was violent and unnecessary.

Should the US have officially supported the French revolutionaries against the British?

The French did support the Americans some what in the war, however, only on a colonial point of view, with 13,500 French colonists joining the American Ranks and vast numbers of weapons and supplies being given to the miltia. French and British colonies were at war but not France and Britain themselves as the British had all but destroyed the French Fleet in the Seven Year War, the only thing that could stop the British from invading France itself would be a fleet, and since there wasn't a fleet that could stand up to the British Navy anymore a European War would have been foolish.
