Andersonville, Georgia was the location of the Southern prison-camp that accommodated Union troops in the last year of the war (after Grant ended the system of prisoner exchange).
It was notorious for overcrowding and starvation. At its peak, this POW camp had 30,000 prisoners.
The fact is, there were prison camps in the North for Confederate prisoners nearly as bad as Andersonville, but since the North won the war this part of history is seldom written about.
After the US Civil War,only one Confederate was executed for war crimes. This was the prison camp commander Henry Wirz.
