...vvvGlobalization has greatly impacted the United States and its citizens. It has also directly challenged Washington’s perspective on foreign affairs, political parties, and local divisions. Due to globalization the United States involvement in other countries, since World War 1 has dramatically increased. It has also greatly increased the necessity and prevalence of our involvement in foreign alliances when it comes to war, trade, and global security, which Washington directly warned against. As far as political parties, globalization has increased their importance and the influence of them in economic and social spheres of life. Finally, globalization has increased the number of possible titles and “appellation[s] derived from local discriminations,” to divide ourselves. First, it is important to determine exactly what Washington’s stance on foreign affairs, political parties, and local divisions was and where they stemmed from....

...American Foreign Policy Essay Over the time span of 1793-1825 the U.S. had to undergo serious changes. It was this time period that marked its process of becoming a national super power. It gained a strong sense of identity but the effects that came with it were that of uncontrollable influence. The nation as a whole started to stand out from the rest of the world and shine as a beacon. But it was the things the nation did during this time frame that caused this shift. America’s Foreign Policy from 1793-1825 went through many changes that made isolation impossible to retain due to the effects of attempting neutrality, economic dealings, and The War of 1812. There are some scenarios in life where attempting to prevent something only gives it greater chance of happening. When attempting neutrality through the time period of 1793-1825 this happened fairly quick. The Neutrality Proclamation made by George Washington was aimed at staying neutral in terms of the French Revolution. Though this is what the proclamation was primarily focused towards it was neutrality overall that it was really encouraging. Washington wanted the U.S. to stay uninvolved and build up our resources first to become a well-developed nation. While this approach may have been able to work in theory it didn’t take into account the peoples and pro-war opinions. In document A, a passage from The Neutrality Proclamation by George Washington it states, “I have therefore thought fit by these presents to declare...

...Foreign Policy Essay American History Kyle Scott 2-16-16 In 1793, George Washington issued his proclamation of neutrality saying that the United States should pursue a conduct friendly and impartial toward the belligerent Powers. He did not feel that the United States should put themselves in the affairs of Europe. The United States should try to remain neutral at all times. The United States did not always follow these ideas though and began to get involved in Europe's problems. By 1794, relations with England had began to worsen. Washington sent John Jay to London to try to solve some of the problem issues with England. Since the revolution tension had been building up over many issues including British occupation of western ports and the failure of England to honor clauses of the peace treaty of 1783 such as the interference with American neutral shipping and impressments of American seamen. The treaty John Jay came home with resolved almost none of the problems. England agreed to vacate the western posts, but not before the first day of June 1796. This was a year away, and England also demanded access to the fur trade on American Soil of the Great Lakes. The British would not offer guarantees against the future impressment of American seamen. Perhaps most importantly, England refused to compromise on the issue of neutral rights, declaring that it would decide what America's rights would be. The United States was outraged by the treaty that Jay brought...

...New Republic Historical Fiction How would George Washington advise President Barack Obama? “Mr. President, your press conference regarding Ukraine will start in a hour.” informed Joseph Jones. “Thank you, Mr. Jones”, answered the President. “Anytime”, he said says as he leaves. The President paced the room. What was he going to say at the meeting? He still had no idea what he was going to do about Ukraine. He walked over to the wall of past presidents and looked at George Washington’s portrait. “If only you could come and give me advice about my situation.” All of a sudden, the cloudless, blue sky turned black and lightning struck. The front door of the White House flew open and a man in a trench coat came walking in. “Um, excuse me sir, but do you know where I can find the current president?” , says the strange man. The President straightened his tie and said, “I am he.” The strange man looked at him doubtfully. “I am here for a short time. I have no time for jokes. There is no way an African American like yourself could ever think of being President? Now step aside so I could go search for the President myself” The strange man started to walk by him. The President, surprised by such comment, stopped him in his tracks. “Who are you, exactly?” He asks trying to get a better view of his face. The strange man put his hood down to show his face. “I am no other than George Washington.” The President was at a loss for words. He attempted to speak...

...For around half of its existence, the United States of America was an isolationist and non-intervening country, where the American government avoided all treaties and alliances with foreign nations in order to evade being drawn into wars. From the end of the American Revolution to the early 20th century, the United States did not take part in any conflicts outside of itself and only fought in wars that were related to direct territorial self-defense. This 136 year-long era of isolation was broken when the First World War began. Initially, the United States was able to stay neutral from the conflict for two and a half years due to strong neutrality support among the people and government. But because of numerous attacks on American lives by...

...with the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The conflict gave Great Britain a huge territorial expansion in North America, but arguments over subsequent frontier policy and the payment of wartime expenses led to colonial discontent, and eventually to the American Revolution (history.state.gov/milestones/1750-1775/french-indian-war). The French and Indian War was the North American stage of the Seven Years’ War. It started because the French and British both asserted that the upper Ohio River valley was their possession. Huge militias were amassed by both countries and each side constructed a string of military installations. The two countries tried to capture each others’ forts in the disputed area. These fracases, especially a skirmish headed by George Washington, helped to generate an all-out war between Great Britain and France. The French wanted to discourage British influence on the frontier. They constructed a series of forts from Lake Erie towards the forks of the Ohio (history.state.gov/milestones/1750-1775/incidents). Despite facing such a formidable opponent, the British naval strength led to a successful campaign (history.state.gov/milestones/1750-1775/incidents). French diplomats began to seek peace. In the resulting Treaty of Paris (1763), Great Britain gained much territory, including all the area east of the Mississippi river. However, it was a shallow victory Unfortunately for Great Britain that heralded trouble ahead with the American colonies. (history.state.gov/milestones/1750-1775/incidents)...

...The Statesman, The Writer, and the Military Man: How George Washington, Thomas Paine, and Andrew Jackson Helped Construct America’s Identity All of America’s founding fathers contributed greatly to the formation of the United States and helped build this nation through their accomplishments and dedication to making their home a better place for all Americans. But of the 55-plus men whom history has given the name of “founding father,” the contributions of George Washington (1732-1799), Thomas Paine (1737-1809), and Andrew Jackson (1767-1845) stand out for their range of accomplishments, their contribution to critical components of democracy and its identity, and to military achievements that helped form the geography of the place we know as America. For me, this statesman, this writer, and this military strategist serve as the greatest examples of the titans of America we call our founding fathers. George Washington was not only our first president to be elected into office, but he is also notable for being the only president in the country’s history to receive a unanimous vote. Although our nation recognizes many founding fathers, Washington is known as the “Father” of The United States for many reasons — and not solely because he was elected as the first President of The United States in 1789 and unanimously elected again in 1792. His accomplishments before, during, and after his presidency have earned him the title “Father” of the United States. Washington assisted...

...APUSH Study Guide 8 A weak Confederacy and the Constitution, 1776-1790 Themes/Constructs: The federal Constitution represented a moderately conservative reaction against the democratilizing effects of the Revolution and the Articles of Confederation. The American Revolution was not a radical transformation like the French or Russian revolutions, but it produced political innovations and some social change in the direction of greater equality and democracy. The American Revolution did not overturn the social order, but it did produce substantial changes in social customs, political institutions, and ideas about society and government. Among the changes were the separation of church and state in some places, the abolition of slavery in the North, written political constitutions, and a shift in political power from the eastern seaboard toward the frontier. The first weak government, the Articles of Confederation, was unable to exercise real authority, although it did successfully deal with the western lands issue. The Confederation’s weakness in handling foreign policy, commerce and the Shays Rebellion spurred the movement to alter the Articles. Instead of revising the Articles, the well-off delegates to the Constitutional Convention created a charter for a whole new government. In a series of compromises, the convention produced a plan that provided for a vigorous central government, a strong executive, the protection for property, while still upholding republican...
