The Farewell Address was a letter written by George Washington, first President of the United States, near the end of his second term as President. It was addressed to his "friends and fellow-citizens" and was widely published, so that many citizens of the U.S. read it or heard it. Washington warned his countrymen that their independence, peace, prosperity, and liberty were dependent on the U.S. remaining a unified country, so their loyalty should be to the U.S. first, not to any state, region, or party, and stated his support for the Constitution as the governing law of the country.
