    The pet question is one of my favorites because two of them have such fun stories. Andrew Jackson’s parrot famously knew how to swear and had to be removed from his funeral for swearing. The alligator was given to Adams by the Marquis de Lafayette and Adams liked to bring it to meetings for intimidation.

    Arasha is correct. New York, New York WAS a U.S. federal capitol. Federal Hall was the site of President Washington’s inauguration. Per Wikipedia, “The 1st Congress met at Federal Hall in New York.[2] In 1790, it passed the Residence Act, which established the national capital at a site along the Potomac River that would become Washington, D.C.[3] For the next ten years, Philadelphia served as the temporary capital.[4]” 3:30

      no new york wasn't. Just because the congress met there didn't make it the us capital. New york was where the congress met before washington DC was created. It wasn't a US capital. Then while DC capital was being built and established, THE FIRST and only capital of the usa, Philadelphia was used where the congress met. But Philadelphia wasn't a us capital. It was just a temporary place for the congress to meet. Again, there was only 1 designated us capital and that was washington dc. Nothing before, nothing after. Just because the congress was meeting in new york and pennsylvania didn't make them us capitals or any such nonsense. So the actual question was wrong because there was no US capital before DC, there were only cities that the congress met in, and there were different congresses, and different cities including baltimore, etc.

    New York City was the capitol of the US from 1789-1790 following the ratification of the United States Constitution. It was only switched after the passing of the Residence act which made made Washington DC the permanent capitol. Many other places had been the capitol of the country prior to NYC, but those all occurred under the Articles of Confederation or earlier.

    It wasn't the loss of the Tea, it was more about the policy supporting it. Britian basically imposed taxes and restricted commerce "You can only buy tea from this company and a tax is included". Hence why free commerce is such a part of our history and why medical care in the US is so screwed.

      Indeed! I cracked up when they mentioned something about inflation. But if I might add, it was also a clear show of defiance and resistance towards the oppressive and tyrannical rule of the British towards the colonies at the time. If we go way back to post 1763, after the Seven Years war (in which Britain emerged victorious against France) the Crown had incurred a massive debt - war is an expansive business even when you win.
      So, to mitigate the adverse effects of this debt, Britain decided that the North American colonies would share the burden of clearing this debt. This ultimately led to the implementation of various taxation policies that lacked American representation some of which included the Sugar Act of 1764, the Stamp Act of 1765, the Declaratory Act of 1766, the Townshends Act of 1767 and many others. This then led to colonists developing an aggravated and sour distaste of British policies and resulted in events such as the Boston Massacre of 1770 and the Boston Tea Party of 1773.
