What was Washingtons foreign policy?

Answer 1

Major Foreign Policy: Although United States had established peace from Great Britain from The Treaty of Paris of 1783 it was still unstable. Washington worked towards gaining the United States Stability. Washington sent Thomas Pinckney to talk to Spain in order for the United States to be able to sent ships to the Mississippi river, which was south of the border created by the Treaty of Paris. Once Pinckney returned, he had accomplished to create a treaty that allowed the U.S. the right to use the Mississippi river and the right to drop off items at New Orleans known as the Pinckney Treaty. During this time, John Jay was sent to talk to the British. Great Britain had stated that it would not obey the Treaty of Paris until the United States paid all of its debts to Britain. Jay returned with a Jay Treaty, which stated that British agreed to leave the post, but U.S. ships were not allowed to trade for sugar or molasses with the West Indies. Washington wanted to avoid war with Great Britain to all extent. He denied the French help during the French Revolution. By avoiding war, Washington was able to make the U.S. government grow strong and obtain stability.
