Most northern states had large debts due to their heavy expenses from the Revolutionary War. Most southern states had little or no debts. Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton wanted the federal government to assume these debts; in doing so he hoped he would improve the nation's reputation with creditors and amass power in the hands of the federal government. The southern states balked at the idea, so Hamilton reached a compromise with them: if they agreed to his debt assumption plan, he would approve of a southern location for the nation's capital. And so it was - Washington was built between the southern, slaveholding states of Maryland and Virginia.

This helped to establish financial stability and unity within the new nation.
