In 1865, the Civil War’s General William T. Sherman and his troops burned it to the ground. In fact Sherman and his troops took everything that was useful to them, such as food, blankets,or anything else. But even General Sherman wouldn’t hurt a baby, that’s why if the troops were coming, the people would hide their food, and blankets under the baby’s crib. After about twenty years, the church was burned down again, the cause is unknown. But it was rebuilt and it is still here today and is located across from our school.
