Summary of the Proclamation of Neutrality:
The proclamation was issued in 1793, after it was discovered that revolutionary France had gone to war against Great Britain and several other great European monarchies in the War of the First Coalition. Washington proclaims that his country shall stay neutral in order to avoid these European conflicts. He also states that any citizen who should decide to engage in these conflicts shall lose American protection and be prosecuted. Neutrality is in America's best interests.
