If you think people in Georgia aren't big fans of Abraham Lincoln -- try hitting them with the name William Tecumseh Sherman. Sherman burned all of Georgia from Atlanta, to Savannah during the Civil War. Below is an interesting photo of that march -- the Union soldiers burned down the bank on the left, but kept the saloon untouched. Twisted sense of humor ... hence, the contention that the Civil War was "the War of Northern Aggression." As "The Empire State of the South," Georgia is known for their peaches. It's on the license plate, on the billboard signs, and baseball fans will know of Hall of Fame batting champion Ty Cobb who was nicknamed "The Georgia Peach." Atlanta is a nice city -- reminded me of Buffalo without the snow.
