Approximately 4000 Confederate prisoners died at Point Lookout, not 15,000.

There is no credible evidence that any were tortured or willingly murdered by design. The death rate was high in part because of the unexpectedly large number of prisoners who came through that camp (it was originally intended to house about 10,000 but because of a string of Union victories, the prisoner population ballooned to between 12,000-20,000. The facility was not prepared for this and disease was rampant which resulted in a very high mortality rate.

How can anybody take you seriously if you can't even get a simple set of facts straight ?

That sounds like Holocaust Denial logic.

Elmira has been researched and there is a book available under that name.

how can you be expected to be believed when you spout damnyankee apologist LIES!

did you really believe that the WAR CRIMINALS that ran the PLPOWC would admit their CRIMES, which were committed by the guards & officers there???

SADLY, for the damnyankees & their apologists, there are NUMEROUS sources where persons who were assigned to PLPOWC wrote home about their LAWLESS & intentionally cruel treatment of POWs.

furthermore, each time the area floods (which is often, given it's location/low elevation!), more bones/skulls wash up;those bones are the remains of MURDERED POWs, whose bodies were NOT interred in the POW cemetery AND whose numbers are NOT admitted as true deaths.

the number of MURDERED POWs was AT LEAST 15,000 and may have been as high as 20,000, according to numerous official MD/US government sources.

FYI, the LIARS can't even get their stories straight;official signs at the site state that about 4500, about 5300 AND about 6100 died in that hellhole. which figure do you believe???? NONE of the figures/all of the fiqures????
