Summary:
Washington told the people of the United States that he believed they would succeed after he retired, that he never thought he was qualified for the job, and their support and efforts were what made the country prosper. Washington used most of the address as a means to give advice for the future of America. He gave warnings to the people:
1. The country would be under constant threat from outside and within. Be suspicious of anyone who wants to secede or break the bonds of the union.
2. Be cautious, for people will use the government for selfish needs.
3. Avoid political parties, for they will cause division in the country.
