How did Washington D.C. is chosen for nation’s capital affect the government and society of the United States?
Washingon D.C.'s location on the border of North and South proved precarious during the Civil War. The Maryland government had Confederate sympathies, so President Lincoln preempted any thoughts of secession by simply arresting and holding without trial the entire state government. ChaCha on!
