Episode 15: Andersonville Prison

CC and Kitty discuss Andersonville Prison, also known as Camp Sumter, which became the Confederacy’s most infamous prison camp and the deadliest landscape of the Civil War. Disease, overcrowding, poor sanitation, exposure, and malnutrition pushed the death toll to nearly 13,000. Andersonville still stands as a memorial to American prisoners of war and a reminder of what captivity looked like when systems collapsed and human beings were left to die in plain sight.
