Adult and independent Civil War student, Shane Anderson, provides the list below of Southern Towns burned by the Union Army. He adds that the list keeps lengthening as he occasionally learns of new additions as a byproduct of his general studies.

Osceola, Missouri, burned to the ground, September 24, 1861 – The town of 3,000 people was plundered and burned to the ground, 200 slaves were freed and nine local citizens were executed.

  1. The tyranny and oppression unearthed here are astounding. A must-add to my long list of reads.
    For students of human nature, and of current events, the response to the secession, the events leading to the act, and the following invasion by the north are pertinent subjects for study.
