Ambassador Nikki Haley failed last month to mention slavery as the root cause of the Civil War.
“Let me be clear, for those who don’t seem to know: Slavery was the cause of the Civil War,” he said.
Chris Christie, who suspended his campaign on Wednesday, referenced the Civil War with a word of caution to Republican voters.
The last time they were that relevant was the Civil War — which we know was caused by slavery,” Christie said.
The intra-party jabs echo a broader debate over the legacy of the Civil War for policymaking today.
