George Washington's Proclomation of Neutrality in 1793 shows the attitude of the President towards the foreign policy of the United States. Not only did he set the United States as neutral in the war occuring in Europe at the time, but he banned any citizen of the United States to aid or infringe on the war whatsoever. These offences were punishable by law, and were aimed to keep any American out of the foreign wars in Europe. This Proclomation of Neutrality set a standard rule, in a way, to keep the United States out of many foreign affairs and wars until the Great War. Also, this was a way to ease the transgressions of the United States in the eyes of the Europeans. If the United States just stayed out of the foreign politics, then there would never be disputes among the differing nations. Altogether, this proclomation helped the United States rebuild after the Revolution and keep to itself for many years.
