Maybe being from Michigan the main focus was America and the study of the Civil War somethings that was unfortunate.

I can say duing the automotive days their was a great migration from the south. So Michigan is a blend of many southern states, as well as an immagration of Europeans settlers mainly German and Irish.

To the Citizens of Atlanta: General Sherman instructs me to say to you that you must all leave Atlanta; that as many of you as want to go North can do so, and that as many as want to go South can do so, and that all can take with them their movable property, servants included, if they want to go, but that no force is to be used; and that he will furnish transportation for persons and property as far as Rough and Ready, from whence it is expected General Hood will assist in carrying it on. Like transportation will be furnished for people and property going North, and it is required that all things contemplated by this notice will be carried into execution as soon as possible.

How fast could you pack if you received this order?
