Best Answer

The British marched into Washington about 8.00 PM. on August 24 .1814. Among other buildings, the White House, the Capitol building, which included the Library of Congress, the Treasury, the building housing the War and State Departments, and the Arsenal on Greenleaf's Point were set on fire.

The answer of Washington cannot answer the question. Washington was not a state capital. The first answer assumes the question relates to the War of 1812. The question is not clear on that.

It also assumes that state refers to a nation state. Nothing in the question is clear on that.
