Some of the  Southern towns totally or partially destroyed by the yankee army, which are listed in the  Official Records. Most were burned, but some were destroyed by other methods.  Notice how many were destroyed in fall or winter ...

Osceola, Missouri, burned to the ground, September 24, 1861
Dayton, Missouri, burned, January 1 to 3, 1862
Columbus, Missouri, burned, reported on January 13, 1862
Bentonville, Arkansas, partly burned, February 23, 1862
Winton, North Carolina, burned, reported on February 21, 1862
Bluffton, South Carolina, burned, reported June 6, 1863
Bledsoe's Landing, Arkansas, burned, October 21, 1862
Hamblin's, Arkansas, burned, October 21, 1862
Donaldsonville, Louisiana, partly burned, August 10, 1862

And then there was the sack and pillage of Athens, Alabama, on June 30, 1862, by Colonel Turchin's men, who committed rapes and other atrocities on the inhabitants. Turchin was subsequently court-martialed and put out of the military. What happened next? Turchin was rewarded by Lincoln, put back in the army and promoted to Brigadier General.

    I applaud God's nature every time a Northern town is faced with disaster. The more damage done, the better. We are yet to see the worst events to hit the descendants of those murdering hoards. Perhaps even a few of them will burn, in their entirety, to the ground. If they do, it will most likely be by their own hands. And I will applaud that too.
