In a recent campaign event in North Conway, New Hampshire, former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley addressed the issue surrounding her response to a question about the cause of the Civil War. Haley, who is currently seeking the Republican nomination for president, took the opportunity to clarify her stance on the matter.
During the event, Haley proactively and emphatically stated that 'of course the Civil War was about slavery' while also mentioning the role of government in the conflict. She spoke about the importance of individual liberties and the need for freedom for every single person. With pride, she mentioned her decision as governor to remove the Confederate flag from the Statehouse grounds, emphasizing the progress that the country has made.
