Why is District of Columbia the capital of America and not somewhere

Preserves its jurisdiction so dirty politicians can get away with their horror show of murders/drugs/pedophilia/human trafficking.

Not even trolling.

It was built in a literal southern swamp, with the idea that it would be so unpleasant that no one would want to splendor time there than necessary. And what>>127042841 said.

take a look into your "history" (aka American history) books, then you'll know why

You are everything wrong with this country.

It was the geographic center of the country when there were only 13 states. They also put it in Virginia/Maryland to appease the south.

>>127042540
NY was the capital for a little bit. Dunno. Probably some esoteric Illuminati reason would be my guess is why it's DC in particular.

How about Having two? One in New York, one in Montgomery Alabama.
Read a book.

She looks really hot.

Because of the ley lines obviously

Because if LA was the capital, the governor of California would have jurisdiction over it. They needed a separate, independent area that could not be controlled by state governments.

Gotta have a warm, moist environment for the reptilians.

Needed the capitol to be somewhere that wasn't a state for the sake of neutrality.

DC actually used to be nice before niggers

for about four or five years. philadelphia was the capital of the precursor governments between 1774 and 1789, and it was politically more important to the country than new york was, which was just a ((((mercantile)))) hub. DC roughly as we know it today wasn't ready until after 1800.
