Heather Cox Richardson on Nikki Haley's refusal to state clearly that slavery was the cause of the Ciivil War:
"[H]er answer was not simply bad history or an unwillingness to offend potential voters, as some have suggested. It was the death knell of the Republican Party. ...
[S]he did more than avoid the word 'slavery' to pander to MAGA Republicans who refuse to recognize the role of race in shaping our history."
