During the Civil War the local textile mill at Roswell, Georgia manufactured a rough cloth that was finished and dyed elsewhere and used in the making of Confederate uniforms. Union General William Tecumseh Sherman charged the mill workers with treason for providing yarn and cloth to the rebel enemy. In 1864 Sherman's soldiers burned the mill to the ground and deported the workers, most of them women, and their families to a federal camp in Louisville, Kentucky. Many of them remained in the north after the war ended, opening a textile mill in Cannelton, Indiana. Others returned to Georgia, and still others are lost to history entirely.
