Andersonville
Archival Summary & Scope
Between February 1864 and April 1865, nearly 13,000 of 41,000 Union POWs died at Andersonville, Georgia. Challenging traditional narratives that blame Confederate administrators, William Marvel argues that the tragedy stemmed from rampant disease, severe shortages, and the Union's suspension of prisoner exchanges—factors largely beyond captor control that condemned thousands to death.Categorization Notes
