Does this mean she’s no longer proud of this country?

They used slaves during the Truman Reconstruction of 1948-1952?

My first thought as well. Truman had most of the interior gutted and rebuilt from the joists up, just keeping the recognizable "skin" of the White House.

Is it even true???

Yes. Slaves definitely did a lot of the work to build the White House and were also used to create the materials from which it was built. It is necessarily a bad thing to mention an historical fact.

The White House was totally gutted to its outer walls and totally rebuilt from the inside out during the Truman Administration (late 1940’s to early 1950’s). Did slaves do that?

Perhaps some of you can make sense of how the White House has interpreted the use of slaves:

The artisans and craftsmen of the late 18th century were all white. Slaves may have driven the wagons to the construction site and unloaded them but white people built the white house and everything else during that time period.
