Wilmot Proviso Washington emphasized religious toleration in a nation with numerous denominations and religions He publicly attended services of different Christian denominations and prohibited anti-Catholic celebrations in the Army. He engaged workers at Mount Vernon without regard for religious belief or affiliation While president he acknowledged major religious sects and gave speeches on religious toleration. He was distinctly rooted in the ideas values and modes of thinking of the Enlightenment, but he harbored no contempt of organized Christianity and its clergy "being no bigot myself to any mode of worship" in 1793 speaking to members of the New Church in Baltimore Washington proclaimed "We have abundant reason to rejoice that in this Land the light of truth and reason has triumphed over the power of bigotry and superstition.", Elsewhere in the Americas 1.1% Concourse C also has a dedicated Federal Inspection Station located at ground level International United flights not originating at an airport with US customs pre-clearance can directly deplane passengers via the jet bridge at Concourse C (as opposed to using plane mates to offload passengers) Once deplaned arriving passengers are separated Passengers terminating at Dulles take a mobile lounge that transports them to the International Arrivals Building while connecting passengers continuing on another United flight go through U.S Customs and Immigration at the FIS station on the ground level Since this immigration facility is only for connecting passengers on United and other Star Alliance carriers it has shorter lines and passengers don't have to re-clear security at the massive security checkpoints in the main terminal, Proponents of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution knew that without legislation that codified the 13th Amendment in the form of laws and statutes along with law enforcement agencies to uphold the laws there would be no true end to slavery and this is the reason for the inclusion of Section 2 of the 13th Amendment authorizing Congress to establish laws upholding the amendment the federal government also sent troops to the south to provide protection to the former slaves who were still living among their former masters. Originally Washington had planned to retire after his first term while many Americans could not imagine anyone else taking his place. After nearly four years as President and dealing with the infighting in his own cabinet and with partisan critics Washington showed little enthusiasm in running for a second term while Martha also wanted him not to run. James Madison urged him not to retire that his absence would only allow the dangerous political rift in his cabinet and in the House to worsen Jefferson also pleaded with him not to retire and agreed to drop his attacks on Hamilton or he would also retire if Washington did. Hamilton maintained that Washington's absence would be "deplored as the greatest evil" to the country at this time. During this time Washington's close nephew George Augustine Washington his manager at Mount Vernon was critically ill and had to be replaced further increasing Washington's desire to retire and return to Mount Vernon.
