On July 30th, 1864 a Confederate force under the
command of Brigadier General John McCausland captured the city of Chambersburg,
PA. A year after the terrible bloodletting at Gettysburg, this time the
Southern Rebels returned seeking revenge for union depredations in Virginia.
After ransoming the town for $500,000, the Confederate General torched the city
filled with noncombatants. The Burning of Chambersburg remains as a shocking
reminder of the brutal reality of the American Civil War, and a seminal moment
in the conflict. On this episode we discuss the Burning of Chambersburg. |
