no less a person than the Judge Advocate General of the US Army said, in 1989 during a proceeding involving a courts martial, that NO INTENTIONAL ABUSE of US POWs was EVER DOCUMENTED at ANY TIME at Camp Sumpter,Andersonville,GA. NONE. NEVER.while far too many POWs secumbed in CSA POW camps, the deaths were UNintentional & were IN THE MAIN a result of the INTENTIONAL failure of the lincoln regime to allow their repatriation to US lines! otoh, the damnyankee high command PLANNED deaths by denial of medical treatment,starvation & denial of shelter,clothing & blankets. those records still exist. there were at least 15,000 CSA POWs that were "disappearred", i.e., MURDERED in coldblood at just one US DEATH CAMP between 1862-1865. that is FACT!

You failed the truth test. How can you say union POWs were treated well when Andersonville existed?

there are 2 current books in print on that precise subject, which have copies of the ORIGIONAL RECORDS.

You idiots and your books. Try thinking fore yourselves for a change and maybe you won't be so crazy.

furthermore, the Joint Resolution of the US Congress of 1861 states that CSA POWs were to be TORMENTED,tortured,whipped,starved & exposed to the elements so that the "multitudes might perish as soon as possible."

Prove it.

You were at Andersonville?

Perhaps senility could explain much of what we've seen here today.

i understand your aversion to BOOKS!

cretins of the racist, lunatic fringe always HATE KNOWLEDGE, especially when it conflicts with their IGNORANT notions of what is correct (or Politically Correct for that matter).

i notice that you also failed to comment on the TRUE WORDS of a serving General Officer of the US Army (who, btw, is from VT-not a dixie partisan area!). (didn't like that, did you Mr Clymer???) do you think HE LIED???? PLEASE comment on that! (if you dare)

and YES there was death, privation, starvation (including MANY who died of hunger in the GUARD FORCE!) & MASSIVE loss of life among the unfortunate inmates at Camp Sumpter,but NONE of it was INTENTIONAL.

otoh, the RAPES,ROBBERIES,TORTURE, DENIAL of clothing/shelter/blankets/food/clean water and coldblooded murder of at least 15,000 defenseless POWs WAS INTENTIONAL on the part of the lincoln regime! that too is FACT!
