As the title says, what if Thomas Jefferson turned against the Revolutionary War sometime after the Declaration of Independence is written?

The pod as to why doesn't really matter, as I'm more interested in the effects such a devastating act wouldve had on the revolutionary war?

But for scenarios sake, let's say poor intial performance by George Washington's troops coupled with utter deadlock at the Continental Congress(s) sours him on the American experiment. He then flees to England and denounces the cause while reaffirming his loyalty to the crown.
