FYI, the DAMNyankees under lincoln, the TYRANT & arch WAR CRIMINAL, invented the CONCENTRATION CAMP.

the PURPOSE of "das Konzentrationlager" was to not only CONFINE Confederate POWs & TENS of THOUSANDS of CIVILIANS (who were critical of and/or spoke out against lincoln & his "merry band of thugs"), but to KILL them on a wholesale basis.

FYI, the "yankees" (READ: inhabitants of the northern states) didn't want the war AT ALL. The protest against it was incredible, worst of all in NYC.

The Civil War was the most unpopular war in this country's history. Iraq is lame by comparison. Imagine Bush suspending habeas corpus, laying siege to American cities, locking up editors and conscientious objectors, and the military opening up on rioting New Yorkers and you get some sense of it. Dude got his head blown off for it. It was incredibly, incredibly unpopular.

I thought Andersonville was a Confederate facility.

The West Virginia Sesquicentennial is coming up in a few years and you can bet that the Statehood Center in Wheeling is gearing up an onslaught of lies and distortion it doesn't read very well if the truth where told West Virginia was created when a group of men with the aid of the Yankee army decided to create a state for themselves without the sanction of citizens depriving two-thirds of the state from voting once the war was over they stripped the civil rights their former enemies and created a virtual military dictatorship which became known as West Virginia.

Don't forget that the first Confederate monument in the South was built in Romney West Virginia.
