Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

George Washington presented his farewell address in a newspaper article on September 17, 1796. He opposed the political parties because he believed that they would divide and tear apart the new nation.

In the farewell address he advised the Americans to see themselves as a single unit and avoid political parties. He also warned against the entanglements and attachment with other nations. In the initial election there was no political party but later he became associated with the federalist party.
