Andersonville, Georgia, was the most overcrowded and harsh military prison camp during the Civil War. It was officially named Camp Sumter but this name is rarely used.
Conditions were so harsh that after the war, Union soldiers tried and executed the commander of the camp (Henry Wirz) for war crimes. At least 12,913 Union soldiers died in the camp, of about 45,000 who were sent there.
