George Washington warned the United States against entering foreign wars in his Farewell Address in 1796. He cautioned against entangling alliances that could draw the nation into conflicts not in its interest. Washington emphasized the importance of neutrality and the dangers of political factions and foreign influence on domestic affairs. His advice has been referenced throughout U.S. history, particularly during times of international tension.
George Washington argued that the United States should not interfere with the affairs of foreign nations in his Farewell Address. The French Revolution and British aid to the Native Americans in an effort against the US had prompted many Americans to promote aiding the French (France and Britain were enemies). Washington warned against such entanglement, realizing that the United States was too young and weak to win another war against a major European power.

George Washington refused to help France in its war against Britain primarily due to his commitment to neutrality. He believed that the United States should avoid entangling alliances and focus on its own national interests, particularly in consolidating the newly formed nation. Additionally, the U.S. was still recovering from the Revolutionary War and lacked the military resources to intervene effectively. Washington's stance was solidified in his Farewell Address, where he warned against foreign alliances that could lead to conflict.
He was against the war, but opposed to secession. He warned against trying to outlaw slavery in the slave states. His views were very unpopular in Concord, NH, where he lived. When Lincoln was assassinated an angry mob stormed his house.

The policy of isolation in the United States is often associated with President George Washington, particularly in his farewell address in 1796, where he warned against entangling alliances with foreign nations. However, various forms of isolationism were practiced by the U.S. throughout the 19th century, with a stronger emphasis during the interwar period after World War I. This approach was solidified by the Neutrality Acts in the 1930s, reflecting a widespread public sentiment against involvement in foreign conflicts.
