Wounds still run deep as Sherman’s troops destroyed Columbia South Carolina and they still haven’t rebuilt it to this day. One has to drive through there to see the scope of the damage.

Say what? Columbia is just fine, thank you. The only visible damage is that at the State House, properly marked with large stars. The University of South Carolina is built on that part of Columbia that was burnt. However I agree with you that wounds still run deep. My brother-in-law used to say that he was 30 years old before he found out that “d****d Yankee” was actually 2 words! LOL!

Columbia S.C. wasn’t rebuilt because the people in SC couldn’t find any slaves to do the skilled work.
