John Adams? He was willing to sacrifice his career if it saves an entire nation by refusing to declare war on the more powerful France, despite American public opinion baying for blood. He also didn't have slaves.
Guess who signed Trump’s favorite law, the Alien Enemies Act of 1798?
His treatment of indigenous peoples is more complex, but it’s not really what you would call good either. He certainly had racist views of them, even though he opposed slavery.
