Presidential hopeful Nikki Haley did not cite slavery as a cause of the American Civil War when asked at a campaign event on Wednesday night.

She responded it was about “basically how the government was going to run."

    You really argue against yourself here.

    With your way of reasoning it was the progressives who caused slavery.

    At some point in time someone proposed slavery as cheap labor. That would have been a progressive since the ones who just wanted to “keep things as they’ve been” were conservatives…

      What comment did you even read?

      Your argument is completely absurd. Especially since slavery existed long before anything remotely even resembling progressives and conservatives.

      So weird to realize you see your comment as some kind of slam dunk. Doesn’t that get tiring? Having to invent some nonsense to replace reality with, just so your precious feelings don’t get threatened.
