我查了下资料,你是不是看了这个?

这里有一个针锋相对帖子。我认为下面这个更靠谱一些。
近来日渐流行的可笑网络谣言——“亚特兰大屠城”
你也可以看下维基的词条
Atlanta in the American Civil War
里面提到了:
On September 2, Mayor James Calhoun surrendered the city.[2] Sherman sent a telegram to Washington reading, "Atlanta is ours, and fairly won" and he established his headquarters there on September 7, where he stayed for two months. That same day, Sherman ordered the civilian population to evacuate.[3]
After a plea by Father Thomas O'Reilly of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, Sherman did not burn the city's churches or hospitals. However, the remaining war resources were then destroyed in the aftermath and in Sherman's March to the Sea. These included Edward A. Vincent's railroad depot, built in 1853. As General Sherman departed Atlanta at 7:00 a.m. on November 15 with the bulk of his army, he noted his handiwork.
也就是说,是清空人员再放的火,并且保留了医院和教堂。
作为补充,你也可以看下“向大海行军”这一词条,解释了为什么北军会使用“焦土政策”。在针对平民这点上,北军是有节制的。

具体到亚特兰大大火中有没有平民被烧死,我倾向于认为没有或很少。但我也没查到确凿的史料。楼上认为有平民甘愿与城共存亡而被烧死,希望能提供具体出处。 |
