American Civil War Confederate Prisoner of War Camp in Andersonville, Georgia

13,000 Union Soldiers died in this facility. Over 50,000 POW’s passed through it. When word of the conditions made their way north, Secretary of State Stanton had Confederate prisoners rations cut in half 1864. By comparison Johnson’s Island and Camp Chase in Ohio, had 226 and 2260 deaths respectively. Confederate POW deaths were greater, due to the amount of captured troops. Confederate prisons were by far deadlier due, primarily to the lack of resources.

    Bob,

    Have just discovered your 360 presentations of CW battlefields. Great work. When your schedule allows, can you consider some additions to include some of the skirmish & combat sites here in the Muscle Shoals AL area ? Contact: 256-856-0354
