I think I got all of the ones I answered right. I didn't answer for New Hampshire because I can't think of what it is. Manchester? Portsmouth? I honestly don't know right now. The other ones in red have issues such as me not being sure if I got the spelling right and perhaps even got the city wrong altogether. For Pennsylvania I'm fairly certain it is Harrisburg, but I'm sorta thinking it might be another 'burg instead. For Michigan I think it's Lansing but I'm also thinking it might be a city with a more French-sounding name. The ones in maroon were ones which I had to think just a little longer to name.
Something I wanna add is that when I was little and we were learning the state capitals in school I always though Raleigh was pronounced "Ruh-lay". I honestly don't remember my teacher ever saying it out loud (I think we just read them on our own in a book or worksheet. For years that's how I pronounced the name Raleigh in my mind.
Edit: I just now noticed I forgot Oklahoma. It's Oklahoma City, of course.
I couldn't think of the Capitols of Louisiana and Michigan
