What were George Washington's contributions to the divided nation as well as the foundation he set for future presidents?

George Washington made many contributions to the country when he became President of the United States. Other countries were pushing the US around by interfering with its trade and encouraging the Native Americans to attack the settlers. Instead of going to war with these countries, Washington sent people to negotiate treaties with Great Britain and Spain to stop these events from occurring. He knew the US was not ready to go to war with any European country. Jay’s Treaty and Pinckney’s Treaty resulted from these negotiations.
George Washington also kept order at home. When the Whiskey Rebellion began, he sent federal troops to end the uprising to send a message that the federal government was strong and wouldn’t tolerate internal rebellion.
President Washington also knew that the debt of the country had to be paid. He supported his Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton, who had a plan to deal with the debt.
When President Washington left office, he made it clear that he felt two terms were enough. He didn’t want to set a precedent that somebody could be a leader for many, many years. He also suggested that the country avoid developing political parties, stay neutral in foreign affairs, and avoid making long-term agreements.
