In 1864, after a huge battle and brutal shelling of Atlanta residents, the federal army ("Yankees") took control of the city. Their plan is to use all the goods left in the warehouse area of Atlanta to equip the upcoming army entering the sea, which they hope will end the war between the United States. Confederate spies disguised as Americans entered the warehouse area to assess what still existed that could be useful to the Northern army. They discovered a lot. This word comes from the order of the Confederacy, which burned the entire area, destroyed a large amount of goods, and uprooted hundreds of families who had lived in the area for decades; Burning Atlanta; It is a story about a large city being destroyed at the end of the war, and the despair and terror it brings to the lives of those who watch the entire society collapse around them.
