President Washington asked Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Jay to negotiate a treaty with Britain to avert a war. Jefferson and Madison denounced the document. Jay was burned in effigy everywhere. Washington persuaded Alexander Hamilton to defend the treaty in a series of newspaper articles that convinced most people peace was preferable to war.

An aging President Washington remained a masterful politician. In his Farewell Address, he underscored the vital importance of the federal union and deplored Americans who favored foreign countries above their own. Everyone realized he was stating fundamental principles—and also criticizing Thomas Jefferson.
