District of Columbia

Why is that necessary in the name?

Because it doesn't belong to usa its its own district like its own state

Like the Vatican

It does belong to the USA, just not as a state, as an independent district managed by the federal gov rather than a state government

now i am just confused

There you go. A lot of he explained it better. It's because the federal government owns it

It's the Vatican. Hahahaha

Because it is a district carved out of two states by the federal gov that is independent of said states

that sounds weird as hell

It was the deal they made when they decided to move the capital from New York. Which was a compromise they came up with that got individual states out of debt as the federal gov assumed it

wait, whaaaaa

new york used to be the capital?!?

So was Philadelphia for a bit. Along with a handful of other places.

huh, how long ago was this?

1780s-1810ish

it's been a few decades

It is where the Great George Washington was inaugurated as a the first president of the USA on April 30th 1789

🗽

huh, today i learned

turn it into a globe, and it's perfect ser

It is a little weird. It means that the government is not part of the united states.

so it's a separate entity? how do you visualise it as a mind map?

yes

There’s a great show called John Adams that I’d recommend watching if you want to lean about early America. It’s not super comprehensive but it’s by HBO and Paul Giamatti is amazing.

ohh, super cool, exactly what i was looking for
