Andersonville, in west-central Georgia. I don't know if it's the worst but it was really bad and is famous for being terrible. The commander of that camp was hanged after the war for the terrible and neglectful treatment of the Union prisoners, most of whom died within months after arriving there.

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.
Anderson was located in middle Georgia. What made this so horrible is that all water was provided by a stream that was routed through the center of the camp and the local residents made sure to defecate in it upstream. Because of that dystenary and other forms of disease flourished. Most of the men had no shoes and their only cover was whatever canvas they could salvage. Thousands of men died including the Polish warden who was hung after the war for war crimes.
We call South Carolina south Carolina because that its name and its in a south direction.
It was Andersonville.
The camp is known as Stalag 23.
Andersonville was the most notorious Confederate Prison for Union prisoners of war. They killed the most amount of people in the Civil War and it was the worst camp out of both the Union and Confederate sides. So you can lick my butthole!

The small stream that ran through the prison was a tributary of the Flint River.
