When George Washington published the first presidential address in 1796, he set the precedent for all presidents that followed him. His message was centered around unity and he advocated against partisan politics. In today's increasingly partisan political environment, his warnings are still relevant. Today we'll discuss Washington's farewell address and the importance it still holds today.
