"Rather a pity that the North caved, and treated Southern prisoners with a courtesy that was never reciprocated. Have you ever heard of the Confederate POW camp located at Elmira, NY? Here's a link to highlight the "courtesy" bestowed upon Southern soldiers: http://www.rootsweb.com/~albarbou/CSA/elmira_prison.htm
