#Columbia, the capital of #SouthCarolina (which started the #CivilWar), fell to Union forces under #WilliamTecumsehSherman on #ThisDayInHistory in 1865, then was wrecked by fire. Who started the fatal fire is unknown, though #Union troops worked hard, but futilely, to put it out.
#WilliamTecumsehSherman (1820), Jules Verne (1828), Dmitri Mendeleev (1834), Martin Buber (1878), Joseph Schumpeter (1883), Edith Evans (1888), Georges Guétary (1915), Jack Lemmon (1925), James Dean (1931), John Williams (1932), Elly Ameling (1933) & Mauricio Macri (1959) were born #OnThisDay...
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1864, #WilliamTecumsehSherman began his #MarchToTheSea. He burnt plantation houses & every bit of #Confederate infrastructure he could find. Had #Sherman and the Union distributed the land to freed #slaves, we might have built a better world for ourselves.

War is the closest thing we will get to seeing Hell, and the world should not be that. We all deserve to live in peace and harmony.
