Who burned Charleston sc during the civil war?

Answer 1

General Sherman burnt about all of Georgia. General Phil Sheridan also did some burning of his own in Virginia burning down barns and other structures. There was plenty of stuff like that going on though.

Answer 2

As Gen. Sherman marched through South Carolina, the situation for Charleston became ever more precarious. On February 15, 1865, Gen. Beauregard ordered the evacuation of remaining Confederate forces. On February 18, the mayor surrendered the city to Union general Alexander Schimmelfennig; and Union troops finally moved into the city, taking control of many sites, such as the United States Arsenal (which the Confederate army had seized at the outbreak of the war).

It was state capital, Columbia, that they burned down. Charleston remains as a classical English-style city.

Answer 3

Union forces under General William Tecumseh Sherman marched across Georgia in 1864, burning Atlanta on September 2 and reaching Savannah on December 21.
