Andersonville What happened? Summarize the event

1 answer

The Andersonville event refers to the Civil War prison camp established by the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. The camp, officially known as Camp Sumter, was located in Andersonville, Georgia, and operated from February 1864 to April 1865. It was designed to house Union prisoners of war (POWs). However, due to the lack of resources, overcrowding, poor sanitation, and inadequate food and medical supplies, the conditions at Andersonville quickly deteriorated, resulting in immense suffering and loss of life. Thousands of Union soldiers died at Andersonville due to malnutrition, disease (such as dysentery and scurvy), exposure, and brutality. The event has become synonymous with the inhumane treatment of POWs during the Civil War.
