Chapter 12 outlines the pivotal moments of George Washington's presidency, from his unanimous election to the establishment of key financial frameworks by Alexander Hamilton. Despite his personal preferences, Washington maintained a stance of neutrality in politics, with a secret lean towards the Federalists, while Adams served as Vice President. The chapter also introduces the emergence of political parties, including Federalists and Republicans, shaped by ideological rifts between Jefferson and Hamilton. Additionally, it emphasizes Washington's Farewell Address and his warnings against partisan divisions and foreign entanglements.
