Why can you not read George Washington's farewell address and answer the question? What is stopping you from doing that?

[Buenchico]

Asking a question about American history on a UK-based website (where most people have very little interest in, or knowledge of) American history might not be the best of ideas! (We're also not too keen on doing people's homework for them either!)

However, you obviously need to start with the actual text of the speech itself:
https://www.ourdocuments.gov/print_friendly.php?flash=false&;page=transcript&doc=15&title=Transcript+of+President+George+Washingtons+Farewell+Address+%281796%29
(If the text displays in a rather small size in your browser, press Ctrl and + together a few times to make it bigger. Press Ctrl and 0 together to get back to the default size).

Take a look at the paragraphs that start with
"Promote then, as an object of primary importance . . . "
"Observe good faith and justice towards all nations . . . " and
"Harmony, liberal intercourse with all nations . . . ".
They should provide the basis for your answers.

Was there not also something about yellow snow? I may be misremembering...

[AZardoz]

BA for Jim !

[bednobs]

where is this liberal intercourse? I want some of that!

[johnk]

Read the speech

[lady-janine]

For heavens sake - do your own homework.

Harmony and liberal intercourse between nations they cant even agree across states. The Constitution is a dogs breakfast of outdated ideas which need updating and adjusting for a modern world.

It's time I made a move too.

Have a happy day everyone.

wrong thread boaty

His one thought that has stayed with me is that getting upset with posters asking for homework help on the internet will sometimes bring out the worst in people who should probably know they're being wound up.

George Washington said to wash your hands, keep 2 metres away from other humans, and wear a mask in public enclosed places.

[drmorgans]

Except if you are entitled, then you don't need to bother.

govern for the whole

jesus he goes on and on - C18 politicians really had time on his hands, and he cd win wars too ! wow

[Peter Pedant]

I think it is quite a good question for the kids
as there is a move that the constitution is as was - 1790

and Geo Washington said - enough is enough
and the current one has said - enough is most certainly not enough

Americans dont do irony but how ironic

'Don't be buried alive.' (esp if you have Covid and Trump is around).

Check your library books back in...GW has two outstanding loans, even today, 229 years on.

The two most important things he said were:

1) don't worry about the slaves, I've got plenty and they never did me any harm;

2) do your own homework.
