All of the founders. Presidents from Washington through Hoover. Not until Franklin Roosevelt did any U.S. President consider global implications. Their loyalties laid to country first, not world. Even Theodore Roosevelt felt this way, but he began expansionism, but still "went it alone." FDR pushed for the United Nations, and now it seems isolationism is a bad word.
who "were" the first presidents of UT? john dough
Though I do not specifically know the president that suggested it, or if it ever has been, I believe that I saw on Merriam Webster that the first implementation of isolationism was in 1922, therefore Washington wouldn't have suggested it. Anyways, Washington didn't suggest it.

Isolationism was first stated as a goal for the United States by George Washington, who said that it should pursue "liberal intercourse with all nations." This was to prevent the young nation from loosing its newly found freedom. Since it was coined by Washington, there have been many answers to the reason for isolationism. Several reasons are: 1. protection of a country from foreign involvement or attacks 2. maintainence of a weak country which cannot afford foreign influence 3. prevention of dispute between trading partners 4. ability to expand the economy of the "isolated" country by remaining neutral in the wars of other countries, such as the U.S. at the begining of WWI. NOTE: Isolationism does not mean that a country remains completely isolated from other countries, but that it wishes to avoid entering treaties that will cause alliances or military agreements.
