:iagree:

Yes that is a wrong answer, it was not built by slaves. According to them that was the only one I missed. This test was super easy, heck just looking at the pictures gave you 1/2 the answers.

FWIW i got out of school mid 60s!:D

Did slaves build the White House, Yes

Construction on the 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 D.C. commissioners, charged by Congress with building the new city under the direction of the president, initially planned to import workers from Europe to meet their labor needs.
However, response to recruitment was dismal and soon they turned to African Americans—both enslaved and free—to provide the bulk of labor that built the White House, the United States Capitol, and other early government buildings.
