LAD #6: Washington's Proclamation of Neutrality






Summary
Washington said that while Austria, Prussia, Sardinia, Great Britain, and the United Netherlands were at war with France, the U.S. should remain neutral and act respectful towards all those powers. He instructed against aiding either side in the war. He also made it clear that if they were caught aiding any power, they would be subject to punishment from the opposing power and would not receive the protection of the U.S.
