Was Washington an anti-imperialist?

  • One piece of evidence would be his stance in the French revolution. Dropping a statement of neutrality in the war, rather than holding up on his side of the treaty, and helping his French allies fight against Great Britain.
  • Another, possibly more important piece of evidence would be in regard to Washington's Farewell Address of 1796; stating we, as a country, should not - "entangle our peace and prosperity," and to "steer clear of permanent alliances."
