Do you have any idea what you are talking about.
First when Sherman was in Atlanta, the war was still very much hot and heavy. There had been no surrender.
Second, Atlanta was not "burned" to the ground. Go to Atlanta today and there are still many fine antebellum structures existing. Sherman focused on their 'industrial' and transportation infrastructure.
Well then I suggest you call Wikki and straighten their asses out!
In 1864, following the capture of Chattanooga, the Union Army moved southward and began its invasion of north Georgia. The region surrounding Atlanta was the location of several major army battles, culminating with the Battle of Atlanta and a four-month-long siege of the city by the Union Army under the command of General William Tecumseh Sherman. On September 1, 1864, Confederate General John Bell Hood made the decision to retreat from Atlanta, ordering all public buildings and possible assets to the Union Army destroyed. On the next day, Mayor James Calhoun surrendered Atlanta to the Union Army, and on September 7, General Sherman ordered the city’s civilian population to evacuate. On November 11, 1864, in preparation of the Union Army’s march to Savannah, Sherman ordered Atlanta to be burned to the ground, sparing only the city’s churches and hospitals.[32]
