The another name for the capital was "Federal City".

<u>Answer:</u> Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Congress met in a number of different locations before Washington, D.C., became America’s capital in 1800. Soon after many debates Congress passed the Residence Act in July 1790, which proclaimed that the capital would be built somewhere along the Potomac River and gave President George Washington the authority to choose the final site.

The president was given the right to appoint three commissioners to oversee the federal city’s development. Finally the commissioners named the federal city in memory of Washington in September 1791 and called the area where it was located the Columbia Territory.

Spanish settlements in North America had one purpose only: to protect their shipments of gold and silver from competing European powers. The first successful settlement in North America, St. Augustine, Florida was built to protect Spanish fleets from attack by privateers. The statement above that the Spanish had "big cities. large farms" is patently incorrect.

It should be noted that the first successful rebellion in America; Pope's rebellion, also known as the Pueblo revolt, was the result of numerous failed promises on the part of the Spanish. Four hundred Spaniards were killed in the revolt and the Spanish lost control of New Mexico.
