Washington was a centralizer. He wanted to see the 13 independent colonies meld into one great Empire. Viewed through this prism, all the thoughts mentioned above come into focus.

There should be tolerance for only one culture, here.

The American culture.

If you can’t handle that, the go back to whatever third rate crap hole that you came from.

Multi-culturalism has been used for over 3000 years by invading armies to weaken and control their prey.

The Babylonians would use this exact methodology. Apon invading a new city-state, they would bring in various other conquered peoples and force them to live side-by-side. Soon they were fighting each other more than they were fighting the Babylonians, and after a time new cultures emerged, eliminating the old, which would be less against Babylon.

Multi-culturalism is a weapon. Always has been.

Strength is in unity. Always has been.

Take vigorous exertion in time of peace to discharge the debts which unavoidable wars may have occasioned, not ungenerously throwing upon posterity the burden which we ourselves ought to bear. - George Washington 1732-1799

It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder. - Frederic Bastiat 1801-1850

Projecting today's culture into yesteryear, in order to try and justify today's culture, is absurd.

It was a very, very different time, a different culture.

The learned study other cultures today - like islam - and reach out to try to understand and accept their weird ways; then they look back at our own history and try to condemn people of those times because they thought differently than we do today...go figure.
