The American Revolution was fought so the bourgoisie in the colonies did not have to honor treaties with the natives, everything else was just post-hoc justification to legitimise themselves and drum up support - Like every other war the US has fought.
Had George Washington lived today he would have been gung ho about WMDs in Iraq or some made up number of dead protesters in Iran or nukes or whatever.
Jefferson, Hamilton, Adams to a lesser degree, would have all supported Trump in one regard or another. Even Washington would have agreed with him in a few areas.
The one guy who definitely wouldn’t have supported Trump would have been Aaron Burr. A guy who thought enslaved people should be freed and made equal members of society, so they absolutely dragged him through the mud at every opportunity.
