America’s Auschwitz? – Andersonville Prison (1865)

Great Video Version: https://bit.ly/4strOOG

Those of us lucky enough to live in the great USA, prefer to think of ourselves as good and moral people. But are there terrible secrets in our country’s past we prefer not to think of?

Every 5th grader knows the American Civil War (1861-1865) was the bloodiest military conflict in the USA’s 250 history. But beyond battlefield casualties, the real atrocities that occurred back then often don’t appear in many current history textbooks. Case in point, the ANDERSONVILLE PRISONER OF WAR PRISON – a camp designed for 10,000 prisoners that eventually housed 45,000. In only 14 months 13,000 Union prisoners died of disease, starvation, exposure … or outright torture and murder. Unlike many other conflicts, the American Civil War was not a war against unknown people, 10,000 miles away, that neither side could truly comprehend in any cultural/social way. This war was American vs American, brother against brother, neighbor against neighbor.
