LAD #7 Washington's Farewell Address

Washington stepped down from office after his second term, much like Cincinnatus did in ancient Roman times. Before he removed himself from the Presidency, he wrote a Farewell Address that told Americans to continue following the acts of the Constitution. He also reiterated his Proclamation of Neutrality by saying that America should continue its policies of non-alignment. Washington made sure  to warn Americans not to divide into political groups because it would only cause the demise of the unity of America.
