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.

After the US Civil War,only one Confederate was executed for war crimes. This was the prison camp commander Henry Wirz.
