One of the miracles of Andersonville was Providence Spring. Many of the prisoners were dying, do to poor water quality from unsanitary conditions, and the men were praying for fresh drinkable water. A storm came up, and lightning struck the hillside releasing a spring of fresh water for the soldiers to drink (Providence Spring).

Andersonville POW camp was a wall surrounding a 15 acre open field. No shelters were provided. It was open for 14 months. 45,000 Union Soldiers were imprisoned there, of which 14,000 died. Many of the ones who survived looked similar to holocost survivors.
