Andersonville (the Movie)

Andersonville (film) "500 people quietly walked towards the gate, ended the majority of their lives, and hoped for eternity.The flame glowed, covered with this paragraph and heavy iron hinges and bolts Two giant wooden gates were visible Ville - Private John McElroy

To be honest, I reluctantly borrowed this movie. At the end of the movie, I did not think I was impressed, I was impressed like me. Andersonville is the notorious South Prison camp of Andersonville, Georgia. The movie began with the Massachusetts army, caught by the train and sent to the camp. There, they were welcomed by Raiders who was a group of Allied soldiers who murdered, stolen, and abused other soldiers at the camp. They are also greeted by group members who think they are dead. As the movie progressed, we saw the harsh and bad situation of Andersonville. We are seeing prisoners take a shower, wash clothes, "save" their garbage, and drink more water. We were told that there is no food available, the disease is rampant, too many people are too small at the camp.

From February 1864 until April 1865, the end of the American Civil War of Andersonville, Georgia (1861 - 1865) was the notorious Allied prison seat. Andersonville's prison officially known as Camp Sumter is the largest arrested Allied soldier's prison in the South and is known for its unhealthy situation and high mortality rate. A total of approximately 13,000 North Prisoners were murdered in Andersonville and Captain Henry Wilts (1823 - 65) was convicted for war crimes, convicted and executed after the war.

Finally, after the end of the civil war in May 1865, Andersonville Prison was released. Several military trials took the captain accountable for his war crimes. Through dispersed research, allied forces successfully escaped Andersonville by 315 prisoners, but eventually recovered in addition to 32 prisoners of war.

The most famous prison in the US military history, Andersonville Prison, or Sam Camp was the largest among several military prisons established during the Civil War, probably because it is officially known. In November 1963 the captain of the Navy was dispatched to assess the possibility of building a prison for captured prisoners in a small village in Andersonville, Georgia. It is close to the Southwest Railroad and rich freshwater and deep south places make Andersonville the ideal alliance prison. As a result, Andersonville was chosen as a prison seat and later became infamous of thousands of prisoners who died before the end of the war.
