Andersonville Prison, also known as Camp Sumter, was a Confederate military prison located in Georgia during the American Civil War. The site is characterized by its large, open stockade surrounded by wooden walls and a perimeter fence, with a central area that housed thousands of Union soldiers in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions. The prison lacked adequate shelter, food, and medical care, leading to a high mortality rate among inmates. Today, the site is preserved as a National Historic Site, featuring a museum and memorials to honor the sacrifices of those who suffered there.
