What was the United States' very first central government called?

The Continental Congress of the United states felt the articles of confederation were not working and ratified a new constitution during the Philadelphia Convention of 1787. The electoral college unanimously elected Washington as 1st president under the constitution.

The United States of America was actually formed on March 1, 1781 with the adoption of The Articles of Confederation by Maryland whose delegates delayed its ratification over a western border dispute with Virginia and New York. Upon the March 1 ratification the President of the Continental Congress officially became President of the United States in Congress Assembled.

Note: Washington was not the first president under the previously ratified articles of confederation, there were several before him, most notably John Hanson.

Well, unless you have a basement so deep it reaches to the fires of hell, I'd say you have a heating vent leak. Your money is being wasted heating the basement. A few dollars in locating the HVAC leak and repairing it will save thousands later. Contact an HVAC repairman (Heating/Ventilation & Air Conditioning),

What did Washington want the whites to do in the Atlanta Exposition Address?

Booker T. Washington wanted the white race to defend the liberties of the black southern race as a first order.

As a second order Booker T. Washington wanted the white Northerners to consider hiring black southerners to provide them with opportunity rather than immigrants who have not yet proven their fidelity to America.

It is important to note that Booker T. was an advocate of Liberty and an advocate of Justice. He believed that the Pursuit of racial Social Equality was an "folly".

Unfortunately many blacks today pursue social equality and most of those live in poverty.

Our house was built 2.5 years ago and our neighbor's house was done 2 years ago About 1 year ago our neighbors had a survey done and found out their driveway goes through our property What do we do?

There is a range of possibilities, depending on how long you plan to stay and whether or not you want to be friendly with your neighbors:

* You can sell them the land under the driveway, which could also allow them to tear out the driveway and put in something worse,

* sell them an easement to use that part of your property to cross your land, which also means it can be used as a driveway forever,

* license this particular owner to use the driveway (or the driveway easement) either annually, or until they sell the house or remove the driveway,

* ask them to move their driveway, or

* sue them for trespass and force them to move the driveway.

Whatever you do, put it into writing and have a local real estate attorney review it for you.

If you completely ignore the problem, it will not go away, and the longer you wait, the more rights the neighbors may have (laches, estoppel, easement by prescription, adverse possession).
