Answer with Explanation:

George Washington's "Farewell Address" was written before he ended his second term as a President of the U. S. A. His address was meant to warn the people about the dangers in politics.

According to him, if the Americans will stay isolated or neutral, they will be able to prevent long-standing poor relations with other nations. This can lead to "unnecessary wars." Alliances with other countries will only lead to no benefit to the nation. An example of this is having relationship with Europe, which doesn't share America's interest as a nation. Remaining isolated and neutral will enable the government to become more mature.

On the contrary, remaining neutral or isolated would mean that America will have to do things on its own and this is a disadvantage. This also means that it will not borrow money from other nations, which is actually essential in times of war or for other reasons. This also means that the country will be less multicultural, since it won't be entertaining other nations that much.
