South Carolina and Atlanta

The cities were burned by both the North and the South military forces. Sympathizers of the Confederacy often accused Grant of war crimes South Carolina and Atlanta were destroyed by Sherman. Much of the Industrial sections and railroads were destroyed by the retreating Confederate forces
