In Philadelphia, George Washington wrote his Proclamation of Neutrality. In this Proclamation, he speaks to the people of the United States about the many wars going on outside of the country. He warns the Americans that the wars, under no cicumstances, are not to be interfered with. The United States was to to choose or aid a particular side. If a citizen or group of citizens broke this neutrality and aided a country in battle, it was stated that the United States would not be held accountable. Those people who chose sides were also to be punished in some form.
