The American Civil War was started by South Carolina with an attack on Fort Sumter very shortly after South Carolina passed its articles of secession. (Source: 7th grade South Carolina history.)
Those are not two distinct events, they are one and the same. The people whose water you’re carrying have been lying to you your entire life and you’re happily helping them with your nonsense.
I did get one thing wrong; it wasn’t the Texas Board of Education that wanted to hide the fact that Texas was a slave state (although several members pushed for "involuntary relocation", which is both offensive and ahistorical). It was the Texas legislature (https://archive.ph/wGe8Z) who wished to hide the fact that the original Texians were illegal immigrants to Mexico who brought their slaves with them against Mexican law and other "inconvenient facts" which, to them, defame the "great state of Texas".
It’s hard to remember exactly which agency in Texas is responsible for the most outrageous statements, since they’re all Republican outrage monsters these days, so I think I can be forgiven that one small error.
I'm not going to respond to everything since you have once again moved the goal posts.
I'm ignoring the different part of government doing what you are saying, since it isn't relevant.
Originally you said "What’s more likely is that people are saying "white people owned slaves" (fact, although disputed by the BoE in Texas)"
Now what you are saying is there was an attempt to deny "the fact that Texas was a slave state"
Well which was it? Denial whites owned slaves or denial Texas was a slave state?
There is no point of continuing when you can't remain on topic and address the points I am trying to make about something like CRT being taught in elementary schools. I wonder why you didn't even address the CRT part and are harping on something unrelated.
