The Confederate prisoner-of-war camp refers to facilities established by the Confederacy during the American Civil War to detain Union soldiers captured in battle. One of the most infamous camps was Andersonville, known for its overcrowding, poor sanitation, and high mortality rates due to disease and starvation. Conditions in these camps were often dire, reflecting the resource limitations and challenges faced by the Confederacy. The treatment of prisoners in these camps has been a subject of considerable historical scrutiny and debate.
