As Sherman once stated, "War is hell". Prisons on both sides were death mills. In any war, the active soldiers are always fed and cared for before prisoners. You can't win wars by feeding prisoners.

Les vainqueurs, en 1945, avaient fort intérêt à dénoncer les crimes Nazis. USA entre guerre civile et extermination des Indiens, les communistes ex alliés des nazis hors concourt évidemment, les Anglais et les Boers en 1902, et la république Française, ses colonnes infernales, ses colonnies....

Readin and seeing this reminds me of the WW II Rheinwiesenlager in Germany 1945 where an estimated 800,000 German POWs died after the war ending as prisoners of the US army due to hunger, sickness and wounds.

I am Southern and proud to be. I'm proud of my herritage as well. But what happened in these grounds was cruel and unjust. No man should treat another man in this manner. No matter how big the war is. It's wrong!!!!

The south treated the northern prisoners with extreme evil. Andersonville should have been burnt to the ground.

@veeseee128 Too Show how desperate the  south is.

Be it a Union or Confederate camp, it was a sad moment in time that somehow, in some way, you may not even know it, affected our lives today. My 2nd great grandfather was a prisoner at Andersonville. Due to illness from being there, he could not put in one full days work for over a decade. No matter where the prison was or who side it was on, let's just honor all who were willing to fight for the nation they believed in.
