George Washington and the Sultan of Morocco
Moorish Presence, Diplomacy, and Rights in the New Nation
Discover an African dimension of the early republic through Morocco’s diplomatic relationship with the United States. Examine the Treaty of Peace and Friendship, Washington’s December 1, 1789 letter to Sultan Sidi Muhammad ibn Abd Allah, and the petition of free Moors living in South Carolina in 1790.
Students investigate how an African Muslim sovereign participated in early American diplomacy and how free Moroccan subjects used that relationship to assert legal rights. The inquiry connects international cooperation with the unequal protections experienced by people within the new nation.
