"Trump Sparks Controversy Claiming Civil War Was Negotiable"
At an Iowa campaign event, former President Donald Trump suggested that the Civil War could have been avoided through negotiation, a statement that follows recent controversy over Nikki Haley's response to the cause of the Civil War. Trump's comments implied that Abraham Lincoln's legacy might have been different had he negotiated to prevent the conflict. The topic has become a point of contention among Republican presidential hopefuls, with Trump criticizing Haley for her historical interpretation and other rivals also weighing in on her remarks. Trump did not provide details on how the negotiation could have taken place.
