∙ 15y agoThe way President Washington decided to side in the French Revolution was to remain neutral, and he even had Congress pass a law forbidding the U.S. to help either side so the U.S. would stay neutral.

In his farewell address he continued to argue against any European Treaties that led to foreign entanglements. In effect he did not honor the 1778 Treaty of Alliance. He opposed the efforts of the French Ambassador to use the United States for recruitment of privateers and militia but was not without feelings for Edmond-Charles Genet. He granted him asylum in the US when he was recalled by the Jacobins, a move that surely saved him from the guillotine.
