Why did she pretend that it wasn't about slavery and babble about "how the government is run". It's this an example of fear of offending confederate sympathizers or is she really that ignorant?
shareBecause she doesn’t like negro people
She knew that she could just walk back her comments if people figured out how stupid she sounded.

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is facing significant backlash after failing to mention slavery as a driving force behind the Civil War during a campaign stop in New Hampshire.
At an event on Wednesday, a voter asked Haley: "what was the cause of the United States Civil War?"
She replied that the cause "was basically how government was going to run, the freedoms, and what people could and couldn't do."
"I think it always comes down to the role of government and what the rights of the people are," Haley continued. "And I will always stand by the fact that, I think, government was intended to secure the rights and freedoms of the people."
