Known as the Pennsylvania Mutiny of xxxx, the event emphasized the need for the national government not to rely on any state for its own security.[6]Article One, Section Eight of the United States Constitution therefore permits the establishment of a "District (not exceeding ten miles square) as may, by cession of particular states, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the government of the United States."[7] However, the Constitution does not specify a location for the capital. In what is now known as the Compromise of xxxx, Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson came to an agreement that the federal government would pay each state's remaining Revolutionary War debts in exchange for establishing the new national capital in the Southern United States.[8][a]Map of the District of Columbia in xxxx, prior to the retrocessionOn July 9, xxxx, Congress passed the Residence Act, which approved the creation of a national capital on the Potomac River. The exact location was to be selected by President George Washington, who signed the bill into law on July 16. Formed from land donated by the states of Maryland and Virginia, the initial shape of the federal district was a square measuring 10 miles (16 km) on each side, totaling 100 square miles (260 km2).[9][b]Two preexisting settlements were included in the territory: the port of Georgetown, Maryland, founded in xxxx,[10] and the city of Alexandria, Virginia, founded in xxxx.[11] During xxxx?92, Andrew Ellicott and several assistants, including a free African American astronomer named Benjamin Banneker, surveyed the borders of the federal district and placed boundary stones at every mile point.[12] Many of the stones are still standing.[13]A new "federal city" was then constructed on the north bank of the Potomac, to the east of Georgetown. On September 9, xxxx, the three commissioners overseeing the capital's construction named the city in honor of President Washington. The federal district was named Columbia, which was a poetic name for the United States commonly in use at that time.[14][15] Congress held its first session in Washington on November 17, xxxx.[16]Congress passed the Organic Act of xxxx, which officially organized the District and placed the entire territory under the exclusive control of the federal government. Further, the unincorporated area within the District was organized into two counties: the County of Washington to the east of the Potomac and the County of Alexandria to the west.[17] After the passage of this Act, citizens living in the District were no longer considered residents of Maryland or Virginia, which therefore ended their representation in Congress.[18]Ford's Theatre in the 19th century, site of the xxxx assassination of President LincolnOn August 24?25, xxxx, in a raid known as the Burning of Washington, British forces invaded the capital during the War of xxxx. The Capitol, Treasury, and White House were burned and gutted during the attack.[19] Most government buildings were repaired quickly; however, the Capitol was largely under construction at the time and was not completed in its current form until xxxx.[20]ee also: District of Columbia retrocession and Washington, D.C., in the American Civil WarIn the xxxxs, the District's southern territory of Alexandria went into economic decline partly due to neglect by Congress.[21] Alexandria was a major market in the American slave trade and residents feared that abolitionists in Congress would end slavery in the District, further depressing the economy. Alexandrians petitioned Virginia to take back the land it had donated to form the District; a process known as retrocession.[22]The state legislature voted in February xxxx to accept the return of Alexandria and on July 9, xxxx, Congress agreed to return all the territory that had been ceded by Virginia. Therefore, the District's current area consists only of land donated by Maryland.[21] Confirming the fears of pro-slavery Alexandrians, the Compromise of xxxx outlawed the slave trade in the District, although not slavery itself.[23]The outbreak of the American Civil War in xxxx led to notable growth in the District's population due to the expansion of the federal government and a large influx of freed slaves.[24] President Abraham Lincoln signed the Compensated Emancipation Act in xxxx, which ended slavery in the District of Columbia and freed about 3,100 enslaved persons, nine months prior to the Emancipation Proclamation.[25] In xxxx, Congress granted the District's African American male residents the right to vote in municipal elections.[24]Crowds surrounding the Reflecting Pool during the xxxx March on WashingtonBy xxxx, the District's population had grown 75% from the previous census to nearly 132,000 residents.[26] Despite the city's growth, Washington still had dirt roads and lacked basic sanitation. Some members of Congress suggested moving the capital further west, but PresidentUlysses S. Grant refused to consider such a proposal.[27]Congress passed the Organic Act of xxxx, which repealed the individual charters of the cities of Washington and Georgetown, and a created a new territorial government for the whole District of Columbia.[28] President Grant appointed Alexander Robey Shepherd to the position of governor in xxxx. Shepherd authorized large-scale projects that greatly modernized Washington, but ultimately bankrupted the District government. In xxxx, Congress replaced the territorial government with an appointed three-member Board of Commissioners.[29]The city's first motorized streetcars began service in xxxx and generated growth in areas of the District beyond the City of Washington's original boundaries. Washington's urban plan was expanded throughout the District in the following decades.[30] Georgetown was formally annexed by the City of Washington in xxxx.[31] However, the city had poor housing conditions and strained public
