LAD #6: Washington's Proclamation of Neutrality

The main purpose of George Washington's Proclamation of Neutrality was to keep America out of the war and focused on their own development. The proclamation was written by Washington during the War of the First Coalition, which involved many of the European countries, while the US chose to remain neutral and uninvolved in the issue. Americans were told not to form any alliances, take up arms, promise protection or be associated with the war in any way, and breaking these rules would lead to punishment for violating the law.
