Answer:

Tallahassee was chosen as the capital of American Florida in 1824, primarily because it was the midway point between the two principal cities.

Step-by-step explanation:

Three log cabins served as Florida's first Capitol. On March 3, 1839, Congress appropriated $20,000 for the erection of a new Capitol.
