No. Lincoln had said "Let 'em up easy", and the only man jailed for treason was the Confederate president Jefferson Davis, and the commandant of the Andersonville prison-camp was hanged for brutality.
Andersonville, the infamous Confederate prison during the Civil War, is often criticized for its inhumane conditions, leading to the suffering and death of thousands of Union soldiers. The lack of adequate food, shelter, and medical care, combined with overcrowding, exemplified the failures of leadership and compassion during wartime. Many believe that the officials responsible for the prison's management should have faced severe consequences, including execution, for their negligence and the atrocities committed there. Ultimately, Andersonville serves as a stark reminder of the brutal realities of war and the moral responsibilities of those in power.
Jefferson Davis was appointed by the Confederate Congress to be the president of the Confederate States of America in 1861. At first he was the provisional president. Soon after, the Confederate Congress elected Davis to a six year term that could not be renewed. The Confederate Constitution called for a one term of six years for any Confederate president.
