At the height of the Civil War, the residents of Atlanta were asked to evacuate the city before the Union soldiers arrived to defeat the confederate army. As a result of this battle, the city was destroyed by fire. In the one and a half centuries since then, the city has flourished.
Today, Atlanta is one of America’s most important business centers and is home to the world’s busiest airport with a terminal the size of 45 football fields! A once abandoned city, Atlanta is now filled with life as people from all over the world gather in Atlanta for events of all types, shapes, and forms.
