How can you claim destruction of the United States was not the goal?

Ignoring the logical fallacy of the question (a negative cannot be proved.)

Dissolving the union that was, in no way implies the destruction of union that remained. All Abe needed to say was "Fare thee well."

I admit to being mostly absent on the thread; but, whence this "destruction of the United States"?

I s'wan, it sho' sound like Walt. Lawd a mucy.

There is no logical fallacy in what I said. It is not asking to prove a negative. Destruction of the United States could have been the goal or could not have been. You need to do a little study on the subject of logic.

The destruction of Britain was a goal of Nazi Germany.

You are still not answering the question.

If you really wish the Confederacy had won, if you believe they were right, how can you fly the U.S. flag?

And all Jeff Davis needed to NOT say was, "Fire". Time was on his side, he could allowed supplies to be landed at Sumter, by summer Lincoln would have been the only person in the North not recognizing an independent confederate states. But instead he initiated a war and lost everything.

If that's not Wlat, then it could be a case of Wlat posession.

Can that be exorcised with 2x4's?
