He wanted to keep power in the states ( actually he wanted to be President ). He felt farmers were the true folk. ( not sure how running a plantation is farming). So absurd thinking is nothing new. But neither wanted a King. It’s hard to say who was really on the right or the left-in those days- But it’s not so hard today. Wanting to be a King/Dictator is unAmericqn, unless we are going to revive the Tory Party. But the current king of England is not very exciting.
