What US State did Alexander Hamilton suggest as home for the US capital?
ChuckSiata
The first U.S. Capital city that was under the U.S. Constitution was resident in New York City beginning on March 4, 1789 which also happened to be Hamilton's home town then. In order to get Alexander Hamilton's economic and financial solutions approved by Congress, he worked out a compromise with Thomas Jefferson (Secretary of State then) to have the US Capital to move to Philadelphia for ten years (to get needed Pennsylvania votes) and then permanently in Washington, DC (to get needed Virginia votes). Hamilton got the votes he needed, the US developed a very powerful and successful economy...and the Capital left NYC for Philadelphia in December (6th) 1790 and finally to DC in 1800 after Washington had passed away. The key role of Paterson, NJ was related to Alexander Hamilton's vision of manufacturing in America which was very successful in the long run. Read his inspiring vision in his report to Congress - "Report on Manufacturing". For more information on this and happen, visit the AHA Society website.
