Did You Know?

Did you know that Washington D.C. is not in a state? It is it's own district. This was to help make sure no state argues that they have the nations Capital. Philadelphia was going to be the United States capital, Philadelphia is in Pennsylvania, and that is where the Declaration of Independence was signed.The Capital was moved to Washington D.C. because it was in the south for compromise of slavery. Also it was to stop riots from happening because the instead of becoming a city in a state it was not in a State it was a District, The District of Columbia.
