George Washington was strongly against America dividing into two different political parties. In his farewell address, he wanted the people of his nation to be united, and he felt that political parties would turn his nation against each other. He also warned against foreign entanglements.
Washington stated that political parties would take over the political process and the common good of the nation would be secondary .The party would only be concerned with it's survival. I think he was right when you look at the political parties today
