LAD #5 Neutrality Proclamation

In the Proclamation of Neutrality of 1793, George Washington clearly states that the United States will stay neutral during war. Washington thinks that the country should stay out of foreign affairs and concentrate on building the new nation. He believes that it is in the country’s best interest to be impartial toward any powers at war. Washington also warns the citizens that if they aid, harm, or interfere with any of the nations at war, then they will not be protected by the United States for their actions.
