Andersonville.
“When the War ended, Captain Henry Wirz, the prisonâs commandant, was arrested and charged with conspiring with high Confederate officials to âimpair and injure the health and destroy the livesâ¦of Federal prisonersâ and âmurder in violation of the laws of war.â Such a conspiracy never existed, but public anger and indignation throughout the North over the conditions at Andersonville demanded appeasement. Tried and found guilty by a military tribunal, Wirz was hanged in Washington, D.C., on November 10, 1865. Wirz was the only person executed for war crimes during the Civil War.”
The fact that none of the atrocities committed by the yankees were punished, is a travesty indeed.
The South had little ability to feed itself and the POWs in Anderson, thanks to yankee total war doctrine of sherman, grant, and lincoln.
