Week 22 (September 15 - September 21) 37 Weeks
It is mid-September, 1864. Sherman expels the city’s residents, allowing willing evacuees to carry a limited amount of property, including slaves. During a ten-day truce, Union wagons load residents and property onto boxcars that will transport them southward. Some find shelter in the homes of relatives; others have nowhere to go and are met with disease or death from damp, unsanitary conditions.
