▶ In this video I talk about the Historical (and temporary) Capital cities of the United States of America. Understanding how it moved around throughout the Revolutionary War period - from Philadelphia to Baltimore in Maryland, passing through Lancaster, York in Pennsylvania, Princeton in New Jersey, Annapolis in Maryland, Trenton in New Jersey, as well as the iconic New York City - not to mention its countless returns to Philadelphia throughout history - ending up with the permanent and current capital of Washington DC. We learn about the causes for the move - mostly to run away from British incursions - and how many historic events of US history happened in this process - such as the Second Continental Congress, The Bill of Rights, the Ratification of the Articles of Confederation, George Washington's resignation as Commander-in-Chief, mutinies, among many others. Finally learning the reason why Washington DC's name, location, and design were chosen.
