If by "inisent" people you mean "innocent"...then yes. They did.

Civil War was the first war in which Total War (AKA: don't care if your a civilian or soldier, your a target for me!) could be considered to have been done.

It was done by Maj. Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman, who traveled from Atlanta Georgia to the city of Savannah, Georgia. On the way he tore down any infrastructure and made sure to consume any supplies and burn down whatever was left unused.

Sherman also stated that any resistance was to be met with unrelenting retribution....
