in Tuscaloosa.

Why do Alabama people keep saying that the Union burned down their trashy city?

Sherman marched through Tennessee and Georgia, thus Tuscaloosa was insignificant in 1864.

BS - they had already claimed 4 national championships by that time.

They didn't burn down the city, but they damn sure burned down the campus.

quote:

On the morning of April 4, Union troops marched on The University of Alabama – a Confederate military school at the time – and obliterated it by fire.

Everything was destroyed except four buildings: Maxwell Hall observatory, a guardhouse, the 1829 Gorgas House and the President’s Mansion.

Because they did burn the campus.

There are pictures to prove this. Why are you doing this?
