[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why was DC conceived as a District and not a state in the first place? Was it to oppress all the white male residents, who were the only ones who could vote at the time?[/quote] Because the founding fathers, in their brilliance, created the capital area as a place for co-equal states to come together to conduct business. It was to be separate and apart from all states, to avoid having undue influence. [/quote] And those guys got everything right! [/quote]
