Whiskey Rebellion – Uprising by western farmers who refused to pay the federal whiskey tax. This uprising was quickly put down and it showed how

Proclamation of Neutrality – Due to the U.S. being a new country and having a weak military Washington issued this Proclamation, which stated that the
U.S. would remain neutral, and avoid taking sides in any European conflict or get involved in any foreign war.
Washington’s Farewell Address – Stated that the U.S. should “steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world”.
Washington gave 3 warnings: 1) Avoid foreign alliances (neutrality) 2) Avoid political divisions (political parties) 3) Avoid more national debt
