När Willam Tecumseh Sherman marscherade mot havet ("The March to the Sea")mellan 1864 och 1865 tog han och hans trupper hämnd på South Carolina. "This is where treason began and by God this is where it will end", sa Sherman. De städer som kom i nordstatstruppernas väg blev det inte mycket kvar av.

Under år 2011 kommer mycket att skrivas om inbördeskriget i Amerika. I april år 1861 bröt det ut och 1861 kom att bli inledningen på många fasansfulla krigsår med oerhörda lidanden på båda sidor i konflikten.
