LAD #6: Washington's Proclamation of Neutrality
In the beginning Washington states that the United States would stay out of Europe, even though he calls it the "belligerant Powers". He says that the United States does not want anything to do with the wars of Austria, England, France and all of those countries. Washington then says that future leaders would be wise not anger countries with significantly larger armies. Probably good just good advice in general but apparently Washington had worries so he included it in the there. He also pins the American character perfectly when he says that if an inidividual person gets in trouble they were on their own, that teh United States was not going to start a war because of one dumb person.
