Nikki Haley didn't say slavery caused the Civil War. Now she's facing
major backlash
...
...
At an event on Wednesday, a voter asked Haley: "what was the cause of
the United States Civil War?"
She replied that the cause "was basically how government was going to
run, the freedoms, and what people could and couldn't do."
"I think it always comes down to the role of government and what the
rights of the people are," Haley continued. "And I will always stand
by the fact that, I think, government was intended to secure the
rights and freedoms of the people."
After Haley gave her answer, the voter told her that it was
"astonishing" that she gave an answer "without mentioning the word
'slavery.'"
Last night, President Biden said on X in response to a video of this
exchange that the Civil War was indeed "about slavery."
