What if the British, in the war of 1812, had decided not only to burn down the US Capitol and White House, but ALL of the still developing Washington DC. The war would still come to a end as it did, with the Treaty of Ghent and the Battle of New Orleans, but what would America do, with it's capital city destroyed? Would it try to rebuild it. Or would it make another city (like New York or Philadelphia) it's capital city.
