WAS THE CREATION OF WASHINGTON D.C IMPORTANT?

  • The creation of Washington D.C was very important.
  • It clearly showed that the two political parties could
  • work together to create a strong future for our country.

HOWEVER

  • For the Federalists and Democratic-
  • Republicans to work together....
  • A compromise was needed to solve
  • the dispute.

COMPROMISE

  • George Washington and congress
  • Wanted to create a national bank.
  • In exchange, the District of Columbia
  • Would be brought under congressional rule.

SO....

  • The national bank would be
  • Headquartered in Philadelphia.
  • And the District of Columbia would
  • Be built on the Potomac river.
