Atlanta.

This is coolbert:

From the Chicago Tribune today:

That continuing series: "THE CIVIL WAR 150 YEARS LATER"

Thanks to Stephan Benzkofer as usual.

"The fall of Atlanta and the 'peace sneaks'"

Those headlines from one hundred fifty years ago in the Chicago Tribune:

"NEWS BY TELEGRAPH."

"A NUT FOR PEACE SNEAKS."

"Gen. Sherman Has Taken Atlanta."

"OUR ARMY OCCUPIED THE CITY YESTERDAY."

"THE REBELS PREVIOUSLY DEFEATED WITH HEAVY LOSS."

"Sherman Wins a Splendid Victory - - The Rebel General Hardee Killed."

Peace-sneaks those Confederate sympathizers in the north, also called "Copperheads". Referred to by the Tribune as "Union-haters", "dishonorable", "lick-spittle".
