It is not the White House because of its color. Plantation owner was named White, and from his estate came much of the land area for Washington, DC.

Very easy question for any American with a lick of sense, sadly that’s in short supply! As I’m sure you ask any supposedly student of higher learning in most colleges can tell you the daily routines of most later day celebrities and content of social media, but American History? Notachance!
