and if alexandria were a slave part of a slave state and not part of the district where slave commerce was becoming illegal, then at that point you had to, you would be free to engage in your selling. that was part of what the retrocession was about. the other part of your question quite intrigued me because as a matter of fact, there have been people who have been head of the senate committee on the district of columbia who have floated the idea that there should be a new exception in this sense return to the normal state. >> i have two questions. first, i was wondering about the name of the city and perhaps are there any alternatives, and the 2nd question is whether for what you think the fact that says john adams is missing. >> while. well, let's think about that. first question which had to do with the naming was basically washington, not to be washington. congress was not designated that way at the beginning. they designated it just as the federal seat of government. that is the way it is stated in the residence act of 1790. but what happened was washington appointed three commiss

at an alexandria. and most especially in alexandria. one of the reasons for the retro session which took the bottom of the diamond away was that alexandria was one of the major slave trading emporiums in the united states. there were plenty of slaves, places, slave pens as you are all aware in washington, d.c. but decatur house was for a time fell into the hands of a slave trader and slaves were kept there. that was the old capital and then the old capital prison, which was also a slave holding pen. and there were several others situated around the capital. so the abolitionists who were really growing in congress by this time in the 1840s and 50s were also sitting in the center of the slave trade. and it was everywhere. here's another picture that's actually blown up from the one that you just saw which shows the slaves being driven across the capital, which has its dome. this is the view of the patent office looking across backyards about 1846. and i think it's very important to see this picture because it does show that we are of hous
