Hello and welcome to Civil War Stories. I'm your host, Steve Matthews. Today we're going to confront one of the darkest and most shameful chapters in Civil War history - the story of Andersonville Prison, where over 13,000 Union soldiers died in conditions so horrific that they shocked even a nation already hardened by years of brutal warfare. This is not a story of heroism or military glory, but rather a tale of human suffering on an almost unimaginable scale, and of how the breakdown of civilization during wartime can create horrors that haunt us to this day.
