How did Hamilton get the South to support his financial plan?

Alexander Hamilton secured Southern support for his financial plan by agreeing to move the nation's capital from Philadelphia to a location along the Potomac River, which was more favorable to Southern interests. This compromise addressed Southern concerns over the perceived dominance of Northern economic interests and helped to gain their backing for Hamilton's proposals, including the federal assumption of state debts and the establishment of a national bank. The deal effectively balanced regional interests and allowed Hamilton to implement his financial strategy.

Why Washington became a capital?

It was designed by Pierre L'Enfant and became the capital in 1800 Alexander Hamilton wanted the federal government to assume the state's debts. The states argued that if the federal government took over the state debts, the people of states with few debts would have to pay taxes to service the larger debts of other states. Hamilton and his supporters made a bargain with the Virginians to pass the bill. The deal was to move the national capitol. The capitol had moved from New York to Philadelphia in 1790. But the Virginians wanted a new capital near them in the South. Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson agreed for the construction of a new capital on the banks of the Potomac River, which divided Virginia and Maryland. Here Washington himself would pick the spot. The government would move there by the beginning of the new century.


What US State did Alexander Hamilton suggest as home for the US capital?

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.

Why did southerners finally agree to Hamilton's plan?

Well, honey, those southerners finally jumped on board with Hamilton's plan because he sweetened the deal by agreeing to move the nation's capital down to their neck of the woods. Money talks, and the promise of a fancy new capital city in the South was just too tempting for them to resist. So, they put aside their differences and went along with Hamilton's financial scheme.
