Atlanta was burned in 1864, during the Civil War, by Union General William Sherman troops. The churches and hospitals were not burned, following a plea by Father Thomas O'Reilly.

Almost certainly Sherman. He claims, in his memoirs, not to have. My people have lived in Atlanta for 300 years and know Sherman did it.
