As reading the document, "The Proclamation of Neutrality 1793," it explains to us

how president George Washington announced to the people that the position in the
United States will take in the European War. Let's us go back to when George
Washington got elected as president in 1788, they saw he was a strong leader to
the power of presidential success, that is what has lead him to the act of stopping
the Proclamation of Neutrality in the time later on. As he established this conflict he
made an up rise in his meeting in the cabinet. After the cabinet had split, Thomas
Jefferson believed that declaring this issue was no need to it, it was unnecessary,
but was dominated by Alexander Hamilton and his supporters. Also Thomas
Jefferson was a Republican and Alexander Hamilton was a federalist it all connects
why they were against one another. Thomas Jefferson should have done something
and said if something was wrong since he was the secretary state under George
Washington. But Alexander Hamilton conflicted in that matter and did not want him
to say anything at all. George Washington warns the people (who lawfully live in a
country, state, etc.) to manage how their behaviors and their actions to one another
that can lead to people being involved in the war. Furthermore, Washington claims
that if the "people are caught helping or making the effort to anything about the
war", they would have no protection at all by the United States. If the United
citizens were helping in aiding the war effort they will be punished right away. Also
they believed they had come up with ideas and plans from the two political groups
about the French and British. Republicans wanted to form a stronger connection
with the French, while federalists wanted to have somewhat an intact relation with
Britain. Later on, as there was a decision made by George Washington he declared
United States to be open-minded that the war gave an offer to have both relation
stay so they would not create a bigger issue now or later on. Lastly, John Jay was
sent to London By George Washington to discuss an agreement to keep the peace.
Overall, Washington had to do what he had to do as a strong president and that is to
stop war from happening and having peace from all over the continent.
George Washington declined to protect or help the Americans if they were helping
the warring nations, because it will feel as if the United States would go with
whatever they wanted in who helped them, but however they will create a bigger
problem, the United States relationships with other nations in the world, and that
will affect everybody in terms later on in life or now. If they did side in helping the
Americans that helped the warring nations there would have been a fight between
federalists and Republicans. The strongest leading enemies of the European war
were the French and British. Austria, Prussia, Sardinia, and United Netherlands were
also involved in wars.
