Some of the opposition came from historical resentment that the Americans had had of the French which traced back to the colonial period and the Seven Years War (called the French and Indian War in the US), especially in the northern states. More of the opposition came from the level of violence that took place during the French Revolution. The Reign of Terror, in particular, alienated the American populace, especially because of how it contrasted with the mild treatment of former Loyalists in post-independent America.

Initially, many Americans welcomed the news of the French Revolution, seeing it as a continuation of their own struggle for liberty and a fight against tyranny. The revolution inspired enthusiasm among various groups, particularly those who valued democratic ideals and republicanism. However, as the revolution progressed and became more radical, opinions became divided, with some Americans growing concerned about the violence and instability in France. Overall, the initial response was largely positive, reflecting a sense of solidarity with the French people's quest for freedom.

The Americans never "supported" the French Revolution. They understood very well why the French wanted to have a change in their own country. Because the French had helped America fight in their revolution, America was freed from the UK government and got their declaration of Independence. When the French troops returned home and started revolting against their own government as well, the Americans understood very well the cause of it and at first supported it, but only until it became clear to the Americans that the French were using horrible violence and were actually planning on dethrowning and killing the King and Queen. When the Americans got wind of that, they stopped their understanding instantly since they could not agree with such radical and violent plans. Especially not, since King Louis XVI had sent the French troops to America to help fight against the UK! How could they support a country that wanted to rid itself from the French King who gave the Americans the ability to be independent? They were very grateful to Louis XVI and they started to sympathize with him.
The first and most important reason for this was that the other Monarchical European nations felt threatened. They feared revolutions of the same kind in their own countries. The second was that the French revolution was incredibly violent

The only war in Europe that probably truly affected North America would be the French Revolution. It stirred chaos in the US as to do we support this or not? Many Americans were pro-revolution, they loved the way the French wanted to be like the US. Yet, many Americans were anti-revolution, fearing the revolution.
The French revolution did much to prove to the Americans that freedom and rule by Republic was the only true model of a successful government. Before the French revolution many in the new United States of America where in favor of a "royal" type of government.
It had become overly violent, anti Christian and blatantly warlike.

Because the Americans were horrified by the violence used by the French during the revolution. They were big fans of Louis XVI because this King had sent French troups to the US to fight with the Americans during the American revolution. They couldn't believe that a nation was actually capable of killing their monarchs, women, children and thousands of people, and in a gruesome way.
You need to state which revolution you are asking about. It might be the French Revolution, or the Russian Revolution, or one of many other revolutions. It might even be the American War of Independence - as a Briton, I forgot the Americans call it the revolution.
