Answer 1

Richmond, VA

Step-by-step explanation:

Retreating soldiers were setting fires on lots of things, including bridges, houses, e.t.c Then, the fires spread to other buildings, to leaves, and after a short while the whole city was on fire. Most of the city was destroyed due to these unchecked fires. (yes it was a confederate city)

Answer 2

Answer: B Richmond,VA

Explanation: Confederate troops stationed in several large urban centers—Charleston, Columbia, Atlanta, and Richmond—burned arsenals, warehouses, and factories before they withdrew in the face of the Union army's overwhelming numbers.

Richmond:

the Confederate government realized the siege was almost over and abandoned the city lest they be captured. The retreating Confederates chose to burn military supplies rather than let them fall into Union hands; the resulting fire destroyed much of central Richmond.

Charleston:

Charleston was badly damaged by the Union Army during the Civil War. The Union soldiers burnt much of Charleston. Much of what wasn't destroyed during the war fell after the 1865 earthquake. Despite witnessing so much destruction, Charleston has been able to restore many of its historic structures.

Atlanta

Through October, Sherman built up a massive cache of supplies in Atlanta. He then ordered a systematic destruction of the city to prevent the Confederates from recovering anything once the Yankees had abandoned it. By one estimate, nearly 40 percent of the city was ruined.

According to the research Richmond was one of the few cities that struggled to comeback after the war. So i Would pick B.
