The Federals taxed the Southern States so much that their only choice was cheap labor, slave or indentured servant but the South did feed the North so the North only had one choice which was to take that Confederate Nation back.
When the Federals arrived in the most productive city the Confederate Nation had they chose to burn it down. The people of Atlanta no longer had homes to go to or even food to feed themselves with.
On the way to Jonesboro, Federal Forces stopped at a home on Fayetteville Rd. east of what is today Newnan, Ga. and asked an eleven year old boy where his father was. The boy didn't know so what choice did the Federals have but to shaughter the boy and leave his body at the front of his home for every one to see that you don't mess with the Federals.
As the Federals passed south of Fayetteville they came upon a wagon train of fleeing Southern war refugees a mile and a half south of the center of town. The Norths reaction to those trying to run away from them was to attack the wagons and take what was in them and the horses that were pulling them.
The Bluecoats then moved accross Fayetteville Rd. and onto Jonesboro where they came upon a railroad train that was loaded with Southern munitions. The Federals had no idea what was in that train but when the Blue shot at that train the incoming round hit a rail car and blew up everything within 300 yards, man, woman and child included. The tracks were distroyed naturally which left one of the greatest supply lines to Atlanta useless. Atlanta could not rebuild until there was no war. After leaving Jonesboro General Sherman and his men in Blue proceeded to head even further South only to distroy everything in their path because they wanted a cook-out in Savanah and they would use that city for their fire pit fuel. Sherman made his "march to the sea" in such a friendly way didn't he?
