Why Washington D.C. Isn’t Part of Any State 🇺🇸

Описание: Did you know Washington DC, the capital of the United States, isn’t part of any state? At first glance, it looks like it belongs to Maryland or Virginia, but it actually sits in its own federal district — the District of Columbia. Back in seventeen ninety, the founders decided to build a new capital that would stay neutral and not fall under the influence of any one state. So, land was contributed by Maryland and Virginia, and Congress was given full authority to govern it. That’s why Washington stands today as an independent federal district, created to serve as the nation’s capital — the District of Columbia.
