The woman who had taken the Confederate flag down just put it back up.
Stunning moment: At a town hall in Berlin, N.H., Nikki Haley was asked by a voter what was the cause of the Civil War. She said the war was about government interfering in people’s freedoms. The voter then called her out for not mentioning slavery.

Watch ken Burns Civil, War documnetary. My hunch is 99 percent of people are quite clueless on how it unfolded.

One kind of Republican voter, the MAGA kind, hated 1960s Civil Rights right from the get-go. They long for the Confederate flag as clear sign they do not like "one drop" descendants of the slave class from ever having rights. Reference to "the Poor" really means "the KEPT Poor."

Wow really? That’s a stretch even for a Democrat!

For the South slavery was a primary issue among many but for the North and Lincoln specifically it is what you and Haley want most a centralized government with no States. The President should be a bum as eloquently stated by Joe Peschi in With Honors. youtube.com/watch?v=bitPep8G…

She should just claim to be a huge Lynyrd Skynyrd fan. It used to be a benign symbol after we forgot about the Civil War

What should be more concerning? What some people will say to get what they want (I am assuming that the candidate knows History). or What MOST of U.S. will accept out of herd mentality (FEAR). IN GENERAL THE WORD "FREEDOM" IS a "CATCH WORD" for NOTHING LEFT TO SAY (DO).

Actually it’s was @BreeNewsome who took it down and the gov didn’t put it back up. At least not then.

Imagine you paid $30,000 per slave and the government decided they're going to take all of your value from you... Government not willing to do a reimbursement plan to avoid Civil War!!!
