And the reason? Something about some Union General tear assing around the South burning crops and destroying infrastructure. The part people forget is the famine caused by Sherman impacted both Southerners and Union POWs. Quote HistoryQuoted:

So it wasn't even the worst camp in the south? 15.5% of the prisoners held by the south died, only a little over 12% of prisoners held by the north died. |

Yes. Difference is, Andersonville is a national historic site (it's under the park service), and not subject to the whims of local politics. |

If a Confederate flag cannot be displayed in a Civil War museum, what is the purpose of the museum? The Yankees weren't exactly fighting the Kaiser or redcoats.

As I understand it, the northern prisons were just as bad. Maybe worse due to the winters. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quoted:
Is andersonville still open? "Andersonville - A Story of Rebel Military Prisons" from John McElroy. American printer, soldier, journalist and author (1846-1929). Google Books Originally published: 1879 Author: John McElroy I was shocked at the similarities with the Nazi death camps. Camp Douglas in Chitcago was the worst in the north. This camp had a death rate of about 20% but poor records were kept & nobody, even today, knows where all the soldiers were buried or the actual death rate. Camp Douglas never had the prison population that Andersonville had. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
It doesn't. In fact it really doesn't matter which was worse, it's just one of the revisionist history talking points that comes up. Prison camps on both sides were fucked up places. Camp Douglas was located in a LOT worse environment than Andersonville. It was litterally in a swamp near a lake in a very seasonably cold climate. Had it not been for the marginally better supplies the death rate there would have been far higher. On my maternal Grandmothers side of the family, from ILL, there were two brothers that were both captured at different engagements. They both wound up in a POW camp in Richmond VA that was basically a multi story brick warehouse building. After the war was over both brothers walked all the way back to ILL. Not till they were both home did they each know the other had been in the same camp, but also that they were not very far apart walking home. My point here, besides the irony & coincidence, is that neither could have been in too bad a shape to make the journey & survive it... |
