It was a compromise created during the Constitutional Convention which moved the capital closer to the southern states so they could be better represented and in return, the Federal government would assume the state debt from the Revolutionary War.

To create Washington DC, both Virginia and Maryland had to cede land to provide the space for the capital city to be created. The city sits between the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers and was created to showcase the capital at its center. George Washington was given the duty to choose the exact spot for the new capital city and oversaw the construction of the capital.

Liula [17]

Corporations became the most important form of business organization in the late 19th century because their industries needed large amounts of capital.

The first American businesses were created in the 1790s and quickly rose to prominence in the economy of the fledgling country. Even while there were businesses in early 19th-century Europe, especially in Great Britain and the Netherlands, no nation adopted corporate growth as quickly as the United States.

In the initial years following the American Revolution, there were small financial organizations.

Corporations may raise capital from a variety of sources, offering a crucial channel for both producers and savers. In the early years, voting rights were significantly less guaranteed due to procedures for "graduating" certain stockholders, but companies nevertheless represented a novel form of investment.

wlad13 [49]

Two main points of Clay's system were the protection of American manufacturers from foreign competition, compromising the congress into forcing internal trade and protection from imports. The second point was to reach a diversified economy, believing the U.S. should be both industrial and agricultural, creating the need to enforce programs with such intentions.

In the late 1820s tensions about the government interfering in the economy and development in such extent that South Carolina threatened to withdraw from the Union because of a tariff, birthing the Nullification Crisis. Eventually Clay's concept of taxes and internal improvements became standard policy in the late 1800s.
