Funny you neoconfederates nevber mentioned Andersonville, Belle Isle, or the fact the confederates threatened the execution of any black union soldiers( of which I will admit Lincoln threatened reprisals if the Confederates carried this out on Confederate prisoners).

Actually, the andersonville food shortages were a result largely of shortages in food and supplies by the southern armies in general.

On the other side, yankees rarely if ever have much to say about their prison camp at Point Lookout in Maryland. Conditions as bad as if not worse than Andersonville were experienced by many there, and that while the yankees had plenty of supplies to feed them had they wanted to.
