I can explain what Washington did during his presidency.

2. Washington’s farewell address
Washington's Farewell Address was the message to the American people published by outgoing President George Washington on September 17, Washington wrote it during the height of a divisive Presidential campaign. In it he outlined three principles that he believed the new nation should follow in public affairs. First, sectional antagonisms should be put to rest. Second, “the baneful effects of the spirit of party” should be muted because they threatened liberty by subordinating people to demagogic leaders and hampering the ability of the President to promote the national interest. Third, U.S. diplomacy should “steer clear of permanent alliances” and “trust to temporary alliances for extraordinary emergencies.“
1. Sectionalism should be abolished. North and South should think of themselves as American not as members of a particular region.
2. Political parties are to be avoided because they hamper the President’s ability to promote national interest over interest of the party.
3. Avoid foreign entanglements- stay out of Europe’s business.
