US President George Washington warned the US to avoid making alliances with foreign countries. At the time, few could disagree with that policy.
President George Washington
Keel away from
Political parties
He warned Americans to steer clear of permanent alliances with foreign countries
Steer Clear was created in 2005.
George Washington believed that European alliances knew it would ruin the new and untried nation. The political parties (factions) were enough, and he needed to make sure the nation didn't make any more mistakes.
Doing Social Studies Homework huh? Same....... We're so far away, and it takes so long to cross the atlantic ocean (They didn't have planes back then) we didnt stay alliances.
Keep away from
Avoid.
Washington advised for the country to "steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion on the foreign world." By participating and creating alliances during WW1, the country broke Washington's hope for a neutral isolated nation.
Steer clear means to stay away from, or keep away from. For example, there may be drama at school, and I may say "I am going to steer clear of the drama." In other words " I am going to stay away (keep away) from the drama."
