Andersonville Historic Site and National Cemetery, and the National Prisoner of War Museum.
The Andersonville National Historic Site, located near Andersonville, Georgia, preserves the former Camp Sumter (also known as Andersonville Prison), a Confederate prisoner-of-war camp during the final twelve months of the American Civil War. As well as the former prison, the site contains the Andersonville National Cemetery and the National Prisoner of War Museum.
The site is an iconic reminder of the horrors of Civil War prisons. It was commanded by Captain Henry Wirz, who was tried and executed after the war for war crimes. It was overcrowded to four times its capacity, with an inadequate water supply, inadequate food rations, and unsanitary conditions. Of the approximately 45,000 Union prisoners held at Camp Sumter during the war, nearly 13,000 died. The chief causes of death were scurvy, diarrhea, and dysentery.

The Solution: The Richmond Prison Crisis of 1863
In hindsight, we know that Andersonville became an unmitigated disaster that claimed the lives of nearly 13,000 Americans, making it the deadliest site of the Civil War. However, in the fall and winter of 1863, Andersonville was intended to solve problems -- not create them. The prisons in Richmond were massively overcrowded and running short of supplies, so Confederate officials began construction on a new prison in rural Georgia as a means to alleviate the sufferings of both prisoners and citizens in Richmond.

The Confederate Civil War prisoner camp in Andersonville, Georgia, was an utter nightmare for the many soldiers held within. It was dangerously overcrowded, rife with disease, and food and medical supplies were always in short supply.

Andersonville Prison Camp was built in April 1864 in Georgia and was formerly know as Camp Sumter. Andersonville was originally about 16.5 acres and was later enlarged to about 26.5 acres and by its closing held nearly 45,000 Union Prisoners of War of which 13,000 did not survive. Andersonville was not the worst POW camp, rivaled by others named Camp Douglas and Ft Delaware to only name two. However Andersonville became one of the most well known bringing its deplorable conditions to the forefront of public opinion of its day.
I visited here in early august of 2015 and took some short video and a few photos of what I saw. I felt compelled to share some of what I saw with others in hopes that we shall remember our history and learn from it rather than cast down and try to wipe away what we have learned as a society.
