"LAD #6: Washington's Proclamation of Neutrality" and "LAD #7: Washington's Farewell Address."

LAD #6
    The proclamation was an announcement made by the United States (George Washington at the time), which basically claimed the states to be neutral when it came to the conflict going on between France and Great Britain. It said that Americas could not help or aid either country int he war as well.

LAD #7
    The address was written by Washington (first president of the United States) after 45 years of his service. It was written to the people about his decline and all in all his presidency. He talked about all the great things that had happened, and the issues America faced. He was originally going to write it after his first term, but after being re-elected and heading so many things, he decided to stay on till the end of his third term in office.
