as well as we could under the circumstances. there is NO INSTANCE of INTENTIONAL ABUSE,TORTURE,RAPE,ROBBERY OF and/or INTENTIONAL DENIAL of clothing/blankets/medical attention AND/OR FOOD!

NOT a SINGLE DOCUMENTED CASE!

at the WORST of times, Camp Sumpter & Castle Thunder were "wonderful rest homes", when compared to Point Lookout POWC, Elmira DEATH CAMP & other damnyankee "hellholes".

AND the south offered to FREE all union POWs, IF the north would do the same.

the damnyankees refused to do so because they SAID: "the rebels go free, go home & join other units, to fight us again."

otoh, when released the yankee prisoners went HOME, never to be seen again on the battlefield. they had "seen the elephant" & wanted no more.

One word: "Andersonville". You failed the truth test.
