Please enquire about Camp Douglas and Elmyra. These and other such POW camps were funded. Great amounts were returned to the U.S. Treasury. The Cretans in charge of Confederate POW's recieved promotion and accolades. I have researched this topic thoroughly and invite all of you to spend a few minutes on your computer to get the real truth. This is not a dead issue or ancient history. There are people alive today, that as youngsters, knew survivors. To be captured by the U.S. was worse(could be)than to be captured by the C.S. Andersonville was a nightmare. The Conf. guarding them begged over and over. It was a nightmare for the soldiers. The U.S. wouldn't exchange or parole enlisted. Only officers got relief. Please remember and understand that the winners write the history books. Please search for the real truth !
