Sherman has burned down our city again

A damn out of towner has burned down our heritage.

This cannot stand.
 
Actually, Sherman didn't burn Atlanta. After the Union Army had won just over half of the battles in the Atlanta campaign and taken the city, Sherman controlled all the rail lines as well as one of the largest Conferderate munitions sites. After all, Atlanta's original name was "Terminus" because the city was the largest rail depot in the South. So, in a brazen move that would cement his legacy as a rebellious and reckless commander, General John B. Hood evacuated the remainder of the city and burned as many munition and military sites as possible in order to prevent Sherman from adding the contents of the Atlanta aresenal to his already powerful army. As you can imagine, the fires that Hood himself had set would spread and consume Atlanta.

But I understand the anaolgy you're making.... ;)
 
Even better, it would have been my preference if the last DJ burned down the transmitter to prevent it from falling into enemy hands.
