Oct 14, 2024 at 13:51 comment added T.E.D. Took a little look into it, and it appears we don't know what party Smith supported (if any), but we do know that his biggest supporters and admirers were largely Whigs. Whigs as a party were out of power at the time. It was largely Tories who oversaw the policies that created the American Revolution, and those that carried out the British response (and lost it). Whigs at the time were largely critical of government policy (as is the opposition party's job).
