George Washington selected the site because of its central location

Explanation:

  • Unlike the deeply divided Washington of today, the founding of the US capital in Washington DC in 1790 was based on political compromise.
  • Alexander Hamilton and the Northern States wanted the federal government to deal with the state's debts and reached an agreement with Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, who wanted a capital in the South.
  • George Washington chose the exact spot on the Potomac River and the rest is history.

What were the long-term consequences of the 1968 election?
Kay [80]

<em>The Vietnam war was pushed to new limits, Richard Nixon told the people of the United States that they were close to ending the war and wrapping it up. But it was quite the opposite, we were stuck in a war we did not know how to win, with a president who did not understand how to get out of it or win it. We were bombing the Vietnamese daily for no reason, wasting our supply. The American people were being lied to and had to suffer for a term almost.</em>
