Atlanta, Georgia. Remains of the Depot, Destroyed Upon General Sherman's Departure (U.S. Civil War)This title refers to the destruction of the Atlanta Depot during the American Civil War, specifically upon the departure of Union Army General William Tecumseh Sherman. The Atlanta Depot was a significant railroad and transportation hub in the city of Atlanta, Georgia. During the course of the Civil War, it served as an essential strategic point for both the Confederate and Union forces. In November 1864, as General Sherman prepared to depart from Atlanta after capturing the city during the Atlanta Campaign, he ordered the destruction of much of the city's infrastructure, including the Atlanta Depot, to hinder the Confederate forces. The ruins of this historic building serve as a poignant reminder of the impact and devastation caused by the American Civil War.
