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.
