re: Haley declines to say slavery was cause of Civil War

This statement ^^^ is a cop out and by doing so have admitted that secession was in part for slavery and the war was not. You are trying to shift the narrative.

A cop out?

This is ridiculous.

You’re willing to agree that secession was about slavery.

But everything else wasn’t?

So without secession (which was about slavery) you don’t have a Fort Sumter attack. You get that right? You don’t have a civil war either. Therefore, slavery caused the civil war.

That’s not saying that every single man that fought in the war fought because of slavery. Just like how not every German soldier fought for the extermination of the undermensch.
