Andersonville prison added a term to the English language: "dead line" Don't see any entries for that in my dictionary. I do see "carpetbagger" though, and we all know which region gave us that.

[cr #1369] Andersonville prison added a term to the English language: "dead line" You mean the DEADLINE at Rock Island, Johnson's Island, Camp Douglas, etc., called their invention by a different name? What was it? The Line of Eternal Sleep?
