Prisoners were not buried. Only those who died. Large cemeteries exist today in towns for soldiers who died in the battle. Families of Americans did have the chance to return the bodies of loved ones back to America at the conclusion of the war. They had to do so at their own expense and many families could not afford the high cost of transporting the body back home. So thousands of American soldiers are laid to rest in cemeteries all over Europe today

There are zero 'Confederate Soldiers' buried at Fort Greene. The monument in Fort Greene Park is a 'Prison Ship Martyrs' Monument' for prisoners of the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783), therefore there were no 'Confederate Soldiers', which were soldiers of the Civil War (1861-1865). The Prison Ship Martyrs' Monument in Fort Greene Park, in the New York City Brorough of Brooklyn, marks the site of the crypt for more than 11,500 prisoners of war who died in captivity, known as the prison ship martyrs.

Many of the dead Union soldiers were buried in trenches, with a crude wooden marker with the soldiers, name outfit wriiten on it for later identification. The dead Confederates were simply buried in mass graves by the federals. The new Museum at Gettysburg has a large map at the end of the tour. This map locates where they buried men and horses just after the battle. Some symbols represent 10 graves or such. These bodies were moved at a later date, but they had to bury them as soon as possible to avoid diseases.
