POW deaths in the US Civil War were high due to terrible sanitary practices and cruelty by camp officers on both sides. The worst camp was Andersonville, where thousands of Union prisoners died.It is estimated that the war caused 26,000 Confederate POW's to die and 30,000 Union soldiers died in Southern camps.
