During the Civil War, significant property destruction occurred in Georgia and South Carolina, particularly due to military campaigns and battles. In Georgia, especially with General Sherman's March to the Sea in 1864, extensive damage was inflicted on infrastructure, railroads, and plantations, with estimates of property losses running into millions of dollars. In South Carolina, the state was the first to secede, and it faced destruction as Union forces targeted military installations and resources. Overall, the war caused widespread devastation in both states, severely impacting their economies and landscapes.
