I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the Civil War was fought over slavery. That is all. Have a good Friday.

@charlotteclymer
I think we all know who needed to hear it. 🙃

@charlotteclymer And the Emancipation Bill was done by the Republican Party.

No member of that party should shit on its legacy the way the current ones are.

@charlotteclymer

And, slavery was bad. Even in her most recent statement, she somehow neglected to say that part out loud.

@charlotteclymer evil Nikki Haley knows that too, she is just trying to suck up to the MAGA crowd, she is auditioning for the VP slot

@charlotteclymer Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution of the Confederate States has direct language permitting the owning of slaves. So, not just the civil war, it was their whole deal.

@charlotteclymer Not even American and I know this. Everyone who has some idea of history knows this.

@charlotteclymer

You're not wrong and Nikki Haley is a moron.

But this is still an oversimplified take. Please take the time to educate yourself on this complex, important, and very well-documented period of US history. It's even more rewarding than being smug on the internet, I think you'll enjoy it.

@charlotteclymer now call me stupid, many have, but I thought EVERYONE knew that simple fact.

@charlotteclymer The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If Nikki Haley can defeat The Orange Menace, I'm all for that. And fortunately voters on the right don't care much about slavery. So now she appeals to a broader base. Win win win.

I read in today’s New Hampshire Sunday News that Haley would pardon The Orange One if elected. That’s a deal breaker for me. I guess I’ll vote for Chris Christie instead.
