Hometown Tales - The Horror of Andersonville

Andersonville Prison was one of the most atrocious prisons of the Civil War. It would not be suprising that the former site is rumored to be unbelievably haunted. We tracked down a re-enactors ghostly experience and may have also found the source of the roadside ghost that roams the highway.

hauntedingeorgia,

you're kidding, right? put a few thousand starving, sick, malnourished people together in a deplorable camp, you don't think violence may occur? not to mention what they went through before they even got there? they suffered mental and physical cruelty, the blame is on who held them captive.

[MSG378]

mandelel, where are these camps? It must not be a well kept secret if you know they exist in every state and what their purpose will be.

U know the commander of andersonville camp wasnt even a american but a swedish named Henry Wirz.I think sence the southren government.Ran out of men they had to get people from europe to replace the dead.

Thank Lincoln, mandlel. He set the stage whereby our government can ignore Habeas Corpus and "government by the consent of the governed" is a fading memory. We all are merely "subjects" of our tyrannical and omnipotent system now. The founding fathers and the South saw this coming and tried to prevent it. There may be no stopping it.

[mandlel]

There are concentration camps in every state right now, set up to detain American dissenters when Martial law is declared due to "terrorism" WAKE UP AMERICA! Will you choose freedom or fascism?

[ichykawa]

What if your children were taught in public school to regard their ancestors as immoral traitors? Your peace of mind comes from having little or no ancestrial involvement in this country's darkest hour. ALL of mine were Confederates... and none of them owned a single slave. Nor did they fight for it. Four of them died at Perryville. Many others died elsewhere. I MUST defend their honor against those who teach my children that their own blood is tainted with dishonor. No hard feelings intended.

ichykawa,

i can't imagine it being healthy for anyone's pysche to constantly be reminded of the ugliness of our past.

i'm a 'northerner' i have grandparents from italy, england, and a grandmother who was an american indian.

england, italy,etc...all have horrific histories of slavery, abuse, etc..i am not responsible for what was in my families past nor would i think you to be for yours.

we are neighbors my friend.
