Washington’s Farewell Address was written over the course of a number of years. He originally did not intend to run for a second term, and started drafting the document in his first term, with the help of James Madison. Later, Alexander Hamilton and others helped revise it.
He never actually delivered it verbally. He simply gave it to the papers to publish.
Wow - right ? LOL - that’s even more of a wow to me.
Of course that info perhaps restores our image of Washington - but at the same time smells of some elites somewhere wanting to have essentially a log entry made for the history books.
So the sheeple many generations later could blame themselves.
Wow, thanks for posting EV.
