The figures I have show that 30,218 Union prisoners died in Confederate captivity. In Union captivity 25,972 prisoners died.

We obviously have different figures then.

The exact figures will never be known. It does not matter, the vast majority of those prisoners of war that died in captivity should not have died accept for the callousness and indifference of the United States Government and the Confederate States Government toward the prisoners of war.
