I believe the answer is: Peaceful

here is the statement made by Jefferson about the colonies:

What country before, ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion ? And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance ? Let them take arms

The first sentence indicates that jefferson is proud on the fact that the colonies managed to last hundred of years without rebellion. He made that statement to encourage other to settles to other places and develop their own businesses there.

Jefferson was a believer that the colonies had been slightly chaotic in the days leading up to the Revolution, but he was a firm believer that this was all in all a healthy thing.
