Amos Help: What do you know about Charlottetown? (32) RE: Help: What do you know about Charlottetown? 01 Aug 17


Charlotte NC is a major town in the American South. Given that the song sounds like a Southern Appalachian piece, I would suspect that was the Charlotte town in question. But the city was a major rail hub in the period, and was not badly damaged by the Federals. AFTER the war, there was extensive burning and looting until the Federals moved in and occupied the city until 1872.
