Yes sir, Columbia is the state capital of South Carolina and was an important city for the Confederacy during the Civil War due to its location, population size, and railroad lines. During the war, the central part of the city was heavily burned by fires and Union General Sherman and his army destroyed essentially everything of military value, including railroad depots. A number of colleges are in Columbia, including the University of South Carolina main campus. And it's football time in Tennessee and all over the place, so you'll be hearing about those South Carolina Gamecocks, I'm sure. Good job, sir. Go, Cocks.
