This Was Andersonville

Andersonville was one of the largest Confederate prisoner-of-war camps, where of the 45,000 Union soldiers confined there, nearly 13,000 died. Prisoners arrived weary, worn, and hungry from prolonged travel in freight cars, marched from the depot through jeering crowds, and passed through the gate into the stockade. The remains of the site reflect the prisoners' existence there and the high rate of mortality.
