Nikki Haley declined to say that slavery was a cause of the Civil War on Wednesday evening, placing the blame, instead, on the role of government.
Slavery was a large reason for the south leaving the union.
The war itself, however, was not fought over slavery. It was fought to retain the union. Ending slavery was not a war aim until the emancipation proclamation.
To say the north fought to end slavery is laughable considering the north continued to have slaves until the ratification of the 13th post war. In addition, the final slaves would not be freed for nearly a year post 13th ratification, as it took a while to get out WEST to the INDIAN TERRITORIES, where the last slaves were actually freed.

All of the words and it still comes down to
The south leaves because of slavery -> the union fights to keep them as part of the U.S.
Therefore the root cause of the war is slavery. This isn’t hard folks
