Washington hotels
Many would claim that New York not Washington was the Capital of the USA. It is true that Wall Street leads the industrial and commercial world and New York is much more of a cultural leader but Washington is unarguably the seat of executive power.
Washington became capital after much discussion in the years following the civil war. It was ideally located between the plantations of the South and the industry of the North, it had sea access and the land was the right price i.e. cheap. The fact that the actual location for the new city was a swamp was considered a good thing. Apparently the Founding Fathers wanted to discourage 'career' politicians.
The city was razed to the ground by the British in 1812 and only narrowly avoided being abandoned as the nations capital.
Washington now is a city of contradiction. Racial problems run deep in a town that celebrates the life of Lincoln so proudly. The people of the White House claim the right to run the nation and yet politicians struggle to run the city. In the land of opportunity, many would consider that Washington is a city of unequal opportunity. Gradually this situation is being addressed and Washington is a city that is beginning to clean up its image and live up to the ideals espoused by those on Capitol Hill.
