Were confederate generals and govt officials jailed after the civil war?

The prison Andersonville should have been hanged?

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.
