Atlanta was captured and burned by Union General William Tecumseh Sherman during the American Civil War. His forces took control of the city in September 1864 as part of his military campaign to disrupt Confederate supply lines. Following the capture, Sherman's troops set fire to significant portions of Atlanta, which was a strategic railway hub, to cripple the Confederate war effort. This destruction was a key moment in Sherman's "March to the Sea," which aimed to demoralize the South.
