Makes it all the more mystifying that she feels a need to equivocate on


Slavery’s central, really exclusive role in causing the southern states to secede. It’s like she and DeSantis think “it’s too soon” to be clear about the evils of slavery (Ron with his efforts to revive the myth of benevolent slavery, Nikki with this mystifying misstep).

She says it was about how the country should be governed. Yes - would a government first inspired by the words “all men are created equal” continue to allow some people to be treated like livestock. That was the argument about governance that led to civil war.
