A lot of white peoples' buildings didn't survive either. I'm actually kind of curious how different this list would be if Sherman didn't burn a bunch of southern cities during the Civil War.
- heartbreak 8y agoProbably would have only affected Georgia's listing, if at all.
- yellowcherry 8y agoYeah, he didn't burn Savannah, which was by far the oldest city on his route. Atlanta wasn't even 30 years old when he burned it.
- phaus 8y agoHe was unusually kind when he got to Savannah. He burned a lot of stuff on the way though. Not sure if any of those places were of significance. He also destroyed some stuff in SC afterwards.
- phaus 8y agoAfter Georgia he went through South Carolina with the specific goal of destroying things to punish them for being the state most responsible for the rebellion.
- madengr 8y agoThe house I grew up in dates to 1840 and served as an armory during the civil war. Though this was in VA.
