    Washington DC was made the nation's capital after a backroom compromise deal was made for Madison, a Virginia, to get Alexander Hamilton, of New York, the votes he needed to pass a bill wherein the Federal government would subsume the various war debt of the colonies in return for the capital being moved out of the north.
