The Confederate city of Atlanta was captured by US General Sherman in September of 1864. He made Atlanta his headquarters for about 2 months then left to complete his march to the sea and captured the seaport of Savannah. Most of Atlanta except for hospitals was severely damaged by fires set by his Union troops. The major part of the civilian population had been evacuated before the fires.
