It was Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Philadelphia was the capital up until the state of Virginia complained during the Federalist vs Antifederalist era about not receiving very much financial aid by Hamilton's economic plan of the government absorbing all of the states' debts. Philadelphia was the capital of the U.S. throughout the Revolutionary War.
