Although considerably young city, Atlanta played an important role in the history of the United States. After suffering serious damage during the Civil War it was reborn as a national commerce center. Thanks to its location at the intersection of two railroad lines, Atlanta became the primary transportation hub and remains an important part of American transportation even today. The 1966 Olympics had a great impact on the city as a whole, not only helping to make Atlanta more recognizable, but also revitalizing its neighborhoods , which deeply influenced its current politics and culture. Despite being located in the very heart of the South, Atlanta embraced its diverse population, becoming a true multicultural center. However, Southern mindset still has a great impact on its culture and helps to shape citizen’s identity. Artists of various backgrounds will feel at home in Atlanta, as this city is known for its love of fine arts and crafts.
