This document was written by George Washington. He was the president of the new country and thereby had the power to publish such a document. The Proclamation of Neutrality concerned the French Revolution. He stated that the United States was to stay impartial and that any citizen that aided any side of the war would not be under the protection of the United States military. The proclamation forbade any of the citizens of America have any part in the war. Washington closed by saying that it was signed on the 22nd of April 1793.
