Southern Towns Destroyed

Edward's recent post reminds me of a subject that has intrigued and bothered me for a long time. Was the pillaging and burning of Southern property so immense that no one has been able to count how many towns were razed to the ground or virtually destroyed? I am sure we could all think of half a dozen but there were surely many more. The first four that come to my mind are Atlanta, GA, Dover, TN, Columbus, SC and Jackson, TN. I have not been able to find research on the subject.
