      Dear Atlanta,

      I’m coming to burn your shit down in a few weeks. I suggest you GTFO. I would rather not do it, but you know how it is. No hard feelings.

      Sincerely,
      General Sherman

        “[i]f I had made up my mind to burn Columbia I would have burnt it with no more feeling than I would a common prairie dog village; but I did not do it”.
