Nobody then claimed that war actually began somewhere else, at some other time or from some other events.

That's because the propaganda was put out by the same lying sources from Washington DC and New York that recently said there was a massive extremist racist riot that happened in Washington DC January 6th and was a massive threat to the existence of the government while actual murders, arsons, robberies and assaults in Portland and elsewhere were "Peaceful protests."

When the massive lie machine starts it's wheels turning, most people are going to believe it.

I didn't even know that Lincoln had sent a fleet of warships against the confederates in Charleston for the vast majority of my life. I had never heard anyone mention this little detail. I can only conclude this is because they wanted to spread a single narrative, that the Confederates started it, and "Great Leader" was entirely blameless in triggering the war.

And now I know that was just a lie.

So why are they lying? Same reason they are lying about the Washington DC "riots" of January 6th. To maintain their power.

DiogenesLamp: "That's because the propaganda was put out by the same lying sources from Washington DC and New York that recently said..."

If that's true, then why did Confederate newspapers report the same thing?
Were Confederates taking their orders from Washington and New York?
