LAD#6: Washington's Proclamation of Neutrality

Summarize.
Washington believes that the United States should for it's own best interests stay friendly and impartial in the conflict involving France vs. Austria, Prussia, Sardinia, Great Britain, and the Netherlands. He declares that the United States, and its citizens, will remain neutral. If a citizen was to break this policy of neutrality in any way he would be punished, or if captured should not expect aid from the United States.
written in Philadelphia on April 22nd, 1793.
