Comment: This picture depicts how democratic President George Washington was and how dedicated he was to serve his country both as a civilian as well as a president. He wanted the American citizens to view themselves as cohesive units and encourage them to avoid political parties. The source relates to the course material as it emphasizes America’s history and forming of alliances. In his farewell, Washington issued a special warning to Americans to be wary of entanglements and attachments with other countries since they might lead to frustrations and economic degradation.
