Answer:

Adams was against helping in the revolution while Jefferson was for it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jefferson: Arguing that the revolution was being waged in the name of liberty for the people, Jefferson stated his position in a letter to a friend: ''My own affections have been deeply wounded by some of the martyrs to the cause, but rather than it should have failed, I would have seen half the earth desolated."

Adams: Adams was against the French Revolution. Adams was afraid that the French Revolution would destroy America. He believed the American economy and government would collapse if the country became involved in Europe’s struggle.
