Seems like a softball question. Answer="Slavery". Boom, home run. More voters gained than lost
Nah, she's a nutjob. Nobody is suddenly going to vote for her because she has one normal take, but her (southern) constituency will absolutely take offense if she says anything beyond "states rights" or some such bullshit.
Probably lost a few by not saying "I'm not familiar with the Civil War, perhaps you're referring to the War of Northern Aggression?"
Even the democrats and liberals in the south seem to have a strange inability to accept that the civil war was about slavery. They all say it was about taxes and shit.
I had a history teacher in middle school call it "the war of northern aggression."
She’s been positioning herself as a more sane version of Trump. She says slavery caused the war, and she has to change up her whole strategy because she would have lost any Trumpers considering her.
Nah that'd lose her base/voters
"No, you see, it was actually state's rights to own slaves."
Haley knows the white Republicans do not want to hear that.
The "reasonable" Republican alternative to Donald Trump, ladies and gents.
When she asked him what he believed the cause of the war was, he replied that he wasn’t running for president.
Sounds like a man afraid of being lynched
I thought that was a big Chad energy answer lmao
He should run for Vice President
Oh sure, it was a dispute over how the government was going to run what exactly?
The southern oligarchs attacked the US because they feared losing their "property". In fairness, you could say that it really was just incidental that the "property" was people. The oligarchs probably would have reacted just as murderously to any other threat to their wealth and power. So, be nice to Elon, everyone.
What caste are you from Nimrata?
She is the epitome of those shitty white adjacent Asians.
