Summary
By the late eighteen the century, America was well on its way to establishing its own national identity. While the cities and towns that were born during this time period each manifested their own unique culture and heritage, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania became the political and economic heart of the United States. Most, if not all, of the political developments that had taken place as the colonies transformed from a loosely knit organizations of states to the United States of American happened in Philadelphia. Philadelphia played such an integral role in the development of the United States that after the Revolution, Philadelphia became the nation’s first capitol. Although the capital of the United States was subsequently moved to Washington, D.C. in 1800, the political spirit that had once held the city tightly in its arms still remained an integral part of the city’s culture and development.
