Presented by Robert Watson*
This lecture was recorded as part of Fraunces Tavern Museum's Evening Lecture Series on Thursday, February 18, 2021.
Despite America’s newly won independence, a bitter dispute over whether to have a capital and where to locate it almost tore the young nation apart. In this lecture, Watson discusses the pivotal role played by George Washington in the struggle over the placement of America’s capital.
