Question
why did a policy of isolation suit most americans in the early 1800s?
Answers
Ms. Sue
George Washington articulated this isolationism in his Farewell Address when he cautioned us to beware of foreign entanglements. Americans wanted no part of the wars and political intrigue that had run rampant in Europe.
