LAD #6: Washington's Proclamation of Neutrality

 Washington's Proclamation of Neutrality stated that the United States would not get involved in the war between France and many of the other European powers in 1796. He states that America would not take sides in the conflict, lending zero support to either army. He also writes that any American who does take sides and lend support to either party will be punished by the government and that they will no longer receive the protection of the United States.

The Proclamation of Neutrality reminded me of how the United States attempted to stay neutral in WWI.
