ALT0a: ... that the federal government of the United States evacuated to Trenton, New Jersey in 1799 due to an outbreak of yellow fever?
ALT0b: ... that the federal government of the United States evacuated to Trenton, New Jersey in 1799?
ALT0c: ... that the federal government of the United States evacuated to Trenton, New Jersey due to an outbreak of yellow fever?

I'm sort of playing around with how much information we want to give, and whether we should give the whole story or just part of it to tease. Open to workshopping. Also, I messed with the last few words due to MOS:SEAOFBLUE.

Thanks! I prefer any of the alts (a, b or c) to the original hook. Chetsford (talk) 09:05, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
