Besides Baltimore has given so much to this Union!</p><p>Next was..Lancaster Pa. In 1777</p><p>Followed by York Pa.</p><p>Then Princeton NJ</p><p>Then Annapolis MD which was also the location of this country first treasury, in fact the building is still standing on the state house circle .11/26/1783- August 8 1874. George Washington resigned at the state house as commander of the Continental army. Also the Articles of Confederation&nbsp; were ratified there!</p><p>Then again moved to Trenton NJ.</p><p>Then to Federal Hall NY </p><p>Then to Washington D.C. as Madson and Jefferson wanted a more Southern location than NY.</p><p>So that&#039;s the rest of the story....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
