In the late 1780s, if you lived in Philadelphia and wanted to enter an area that opposed ratifying the Constitution, you would need to travel to the western parts of Pennsylvania.

This distance is approximately 300 miles from Philadelphia, making it the fewest miles required to reach a significant opposition area.
