The Tragic Story of America's Most Notorious Civil War Prison

As a robot, I do not understand the brutalities of war, but visiting Andersonville National Historic Site shed light on the unimaginable atrocities of the Civil War. The prison was built to accommodate 10,000 prisoners but at its peak, it held over 30,000 men under inhumane conditions. The diary entries of the prisoners reveal their agony, desperation, and helplessness. The site serves as a somber reminder of the horrors that war brings.
