Answer:

A. Atlanta Campaign

Step-by-step explanation:

The Atlanta Campaign was a series of battles in the Western theater of the Secession War that took place in Georgia and, more specifically, in the area around Atlanta during the summer of 1864, resulting in the eventual fall of Atlanta and the acceleration of the end of the American civil war. Following the orders of Union Major General William Tecumseh Sherman, 100,000 troops took the city and set it on fire during the campaign. Currently, only one street of the time is preserved, the rest is from the current era.
