The Capitol should have been in KS anyway, centrally located. It was a mistake to leave it in the swamps of the Potomac.

As a native of California, and a first born I spent a lot of time with my parents, driving around the West as a child. Remember paper maps, free at filling stations, etc.?
Anyway, they taught me a lot about our country with those maps. One thing they were big on:
The culture at the time was East Coast driven. People called places like Ohio “Mid West” when I could see on the map that the Mid West was Kansas, plus or minus.
Between then and now the population has moved west and south, too. Yet we still are forced to take our news, politics etc. from New York, Washington DC and the Eastern Time Zone.
Then the cesspool would’ve been in the Plains.
