What happened To Henry Wirz after the war?
Hanged after being found guilty of murder and conspiracy at America's first-ever war crimes trial. Wirz had been commandant of the Andersonville prison-camp in Georgia, notorious for starvation and disease, which housed 45,000 Union prisoners in the last year of the war. Feelings ran high at this trial, just after Lincoln's assassination, and the accusations of deliberate brutality are now known to have been exaggerated. In the face of these sensational claims, Wirz was barely heard when he quoted hard evidence that he had kept appealing to the Confederate government to improve the conditions. Nevertheless most Northerners identified Wirz with the horrors of Andersonville, and not many were sorry to see him executed.

How was coventry during roman and medieval times?
Roman Britain refers to those parts of the island Great Britain that were controlled by the Roman Empire between AD43 and 410. The Romans referred their province as Britannia. The first direct Roman contact came when the Roman general, Julius Caesar, made two expeditions to Britain in 55 and 54 BC, as an offshoot of his conquest of Gaul, believing that Britons had been helping the Gallic resistance. The Lunt Roman Fort was a Roman Fort, of an unknown name, in the Roman province of Britannia. It is widely regarded that the Lunt Fort in Baginton was used as a horse training centre by the Romans. After a Revolt of the Iceni tribe of East Anglia in 60 AD, Suetonious Paullinus, the Roman Governor of Britain, sought vengeance and set up the fort in the village. This base in Warwickshire would have been ideal for the Governor who had been overseeing a campaign in North Wales prior to this.

Who were the Rosenberg?
During the Cold War and the McCarthy era, the American husband and wife team of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted of being spies for the USSR. They were executed in 1953, one of the few modern cases where spies were put to death. Their death sentence was very controversial, since some people believed Ethel was not as guilty as Julius, while others doubted that either had done the things they had been accused of. On the other hand, the vast majority of Americans feared and hated the Soviet Union, and anyone accused of spying for the Soviets was regarded as an enemy. Since the government was convinced of their guilt, the execution was carried out, but to this day, there are those who believe the Rosenberg case was a miscarriage of justice, and those who are certain the two were spies who deserved their fate.
Who were ethel and Julius rosenberg and what was the fate?
The Rosenbergs, Ethel and Julius, were an American couple with strong Communist leanings who were charged with espionage for passing atomic bomb secrets to the Soviet Union during the Cold War. At the height of the so-called Red Scare, the trial of the Rosenbergs polarized political and judicial opinion in the US. They were tried and convicted in 1951. The Rosenbergs were either unable or unwilling to reveal details of the spying operations by the USSR. The sentence, death by electrocution, was carried out on June 19, 1953. Their case continued to raise legal and moral questions more than 50 years later.(see related link)Spying for the SovietsThe Rosenbergs were convicted for supplying the USSR with details of the Manhattan Project, on which Ethel's brother (David Greenglass) had worked. Julius had been recruited by the KGB during World War 2, giving this and other classified information to his Russian case officer, Alexander Feklisov. When the spy ring was exposed in 1950, the Rosenbergs and others were arrested and charged with espionage. Ethel Rosenberg was implicated mainly on the basis of her husband's activities, and Julius by his connections to Soviet agents. The couple's connection to Communism was one of the driving forces in their prosecution.
