That statement is true

The commander's name is Carleton. By that point, the british empire already started to made effort to abolish slavery before united states. So Carleton believed that returning the escaped slaves to Washington would be dishonorable.

Washington keep pushing him for several years for the return of the slaves until he eventually gave up and asked for compensation instead.

It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Right choice:

(3) Alliances could draw the United States into wars.

Explanation:

Since its inception, the American republic was wary of distant foreign entanglements, especially in Europe. That was the feeling of a majority in society in different times. Those attitudes changed in the 20th century, only after WWII. In the first decade of the American government of Washington, there were debates and the temptation to side with France or Britain in their contemporary wars. Washington decided to stay neutral because he knew the US was not strong enough to fight war.
