During the burning of Atlanta in 1864, primarily during General William Tecumseh Sherman's military campaign, conventional weapons such as artillery, rifles, and ammunition were used by Union troops. However, the destruction of the city involved not just combat but also the systematic burning of infrastructure, including warehouses, railroads, and factories, which was a strategic decision to cripple the Confederate war effort. The fire was largely set intentionally by Union forces rather than through direct combat with Confederate soldiers.
