Former South Carolina governor faces bipartisan backlash

  • Nikki Haley criticized for not mentioning slavery as cause of Civil War
  • Bipartisan criticism for Haley’s omission
  • Legacy of Civil War and race relations have been a constant theme in Haley’s political career
  • Haley called it an ‘easy question’ and focused on government’s role
  • Haley emphasized the need for capitalism and economic freedom

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley is facing criticism from both sides of the aisle for failing to mention slavery as the cause of the Civil War. During a town hall event in New Hampshire, Haley was asked about the cause of the conflict, to which she responded by focusing on the role of government and the importance of individual liberties. However, her omission of slavery, despite its significance in the legacy of the Civil War and race relations, has drawn bipartisan criticism. Haley’s decades-long political career has often touched on these issues, making her omission surprising to many. Despite the backlash, Haley emphasized the need for capitalism and economic freedom during her response.
