In 1791, three commissioners appointed by President George Washington named the area destined for the seat of the United States government the Territory of Columbia. Especially in the 19th century, Columbia was visualized as a goddess-like female national personification of the United States and of liberty itself, comparable to the British Britannia, the Italian Italia Turrita and the French Marianne, often seen in political cartoons of the 19th and early 20th century.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-8048.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-8048.txt
