Which detail from the section "The White House
Alina [70]

Answer:

Explanation:

Construction of the White House President's House began in 1792 in Washington, D.C., a new capital situated in sparsely settled region far from a major population center. The decision to place the capital on land ceded by two pro-slavery states-Virginia and Maryland-ultimately influenced the acquisition of laborers to construct its public buildings.

The payroll to slaveowners shows that the government did not own slaves, but that it did hire them from their masters. Slave carpenters Ben, Daniel, and Peter were noted as owned by James Hoban.

Tending the steam engine, building the cast-iron staircase inside—that wasn't grunt work." According to historian Jesse Holland, it is very likely that African-American slaves were among the construction workers, given that slavery prevailed in Washington and its surrounding states at that time.

What people think about White House?

1. For two hundred years, the White House has stood as a symbol of the Presidency, the United States government, and the American people.

2. A popular myth exists that the White House was first painted white to cover the scorch marks left after British soldiers set fire to the house during the War of 1812. Actually, the White House first gained a lime-based whitewash in 1798 to protect the exterior stone from moisture and cracking during winter freezes.

3. The White House is, after all, the President's private home. It is also the only private residence of a head of state that is open to the public free of charge. The White House has a unique and fascinating history.
