The first capital of the U.S.A was Philadelphia. It was not New York. Plus New york was known as New Amsterdam, and it was the capital during the American Revolution, at which point we were not a unified country. Philadelphia was our capital when we announced our freedom from Britain becoming a country. Anybody who says New york was the first capital is absolutely wrong!
