Sherman burned down Atlanta before starting his March to the Sea.
A 1955 study of the sixty-mile area from Covington to Milledgeville found that of seventy-two houses built before Sherman's march, twenty-two were still standing in 1955; nine others had been torn down after the Civil War" (Soldiers Passion for Order, 551)
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....
That general was William Tecumseh Sherman. He was one of General Grant's lieutenants at Shiloh and Vicksburg, and was the overall commander of the combined Union armies at Atlanta.
how do u tho?

Yes, it is illegal to burn down houses. The crime is called arson and it is a felony.

He ordered the burning of all buildings of military potential. But it went beyond that, and Sherman began to see the point of destroying civilian morale.
