From Newsmax:
Ken Burns, creator of the 1990 TV documentary
miniseries on the Civil War, declared slavery alone caused the war –
refuting chief of staff John Kelly's assertion a
"lack of an ability to compromise" led to the conflict.
Many factors contributed to the Civil War. One caused it:
slavery.
The White House chief of staff's comments Monday
created a firestorm of criticism from historians,
and a scorching denunciation from the Congressional Black Caucus,
which said Kelly "needs a history lesson."
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee
Sanders, however, defended the remarks Tuesday.
"I do know that many historians, including
Shelby Foote in Ken Burns' famous Civil War documentary, agreed a failure
to compromise was a cause of the Civil War," she said, The Hill reported.
