When did the United states capital moved from Philadelphia to Washington dc?
John Adams -
John Adams spent most of his one term as President in Philadelphia. He moved to the White House on Saturday, November 1, 1800. The following Tuesday he lost the Presidential election to Thomas Jefferson. The Residence Act of 1790 called for the District of Columbia to become the national capital on the first Monday in December, 1800. Adams left Philadelphia in late May, and spent several months on his farm in Massachusetts before moving into the White House on November 1. The Philadelphia house was converted into Francis's Union Hotel, and Mrs. Adams stayed there on her way south from Massachusetts to the new capital.
What was family life like in Philadelphia in 1793?
It was cold in the winter, and VERY warm in the summer. People used outhouses and tossed garbage to the streets below. Disease was rampant and only those who had enough money could travel from the city to the surrounding hills to escape major disease epidemics. There was no electric, and people bathed once a week. This tradition is carried on still today. Also, if you lived in South Philly you were considered a WOP, which is still the case today. Come enjoy the great city and have a big cheesesteak, then go home.

Why did Penn choose the name of Philadelphia?
ANSWER:
The reason William Penn founded (or established) the colony of Pennsylvania, was for a religious refuge for Quakers, and for agriculture. By its charter, which was approved by King Charles II, Pennsylvania (aka "Penn's woods"), was sandwiched between New York and Maryland, extending west of the Delaware River.
The charter gave Penn total authority over the colony, but Penn believed in giving the people a voice. His "Frame of Government," in 1682, established an elected council to furnish advice to the governor and an assembly to pass laws. He also promised complete religious freedom (rather than mere toleration) in the colony.
In all, Pennsylvania had the freest, most democratic political system in the world at that time. Penn also insisted that Pennsylvania Native Americans be treated fairly.
The climate of freedom attracted many immigrants. Quakers were the first arrivals, establishing Philadelphia in 1682, and spreading into the rich farmlands of the Delaware Valley. German "pietists" came next, followed by others who were attracted by the climate and landscape similar to western Germany.
Then came the Scotch-Irish. Some of the Scotch, were Presbyterians. Catholics and Jews from many European countries came to Pennsylvania in search of religious freedom. Later, a small number of Africans were brought to the colony.
Penn hoped to establish a colony where Quakers could practice their religion in freedom. Hope this helped
