Washington's Farewell Address

Washington's Farewell Address is in my estimation is one of the most compelling documents in American History.  It is a farewell letter from the founding father to his child:  The USA.  We often find out the heart of people in their final statements.  He sets out his hopes, desires, fears, warnings, and thankfulness to the present and future generations of Americans.  In this document he not only talks about current situations in the 18th century American landscape, he address his political philosophy and his views of the human heart.  In the next few posts, I will break down the farewell address and not only will we learn more about the man, you might even wonder out loud about how GW would have viewed the current state of the American Republic today
