washingtongs fair well address (jan 1, 1797 – jan 1, 1797)

Description:

Washington’s Farewell Address in 1796 was caused by George Washington’s decision to retire after two terms as president. The immediate effect was the advice it provided to the nation, particularly urging the avoidance of political parties and foreign entanglements. This connects to Politics & Power, as it offered a vision for the future of American governance and foreign policy. It represents continuity, as it reinforced Washington’s longstanding view of American neutrality and the dangers of party politics.
