There were many who claimed that Andersonville prison was cruel conspiracy which was against northern soldiers. As the war progressed, Prison exchanges slowed down and as black soldiers started to fight for the Union, The situation related to African-Americans became more complicated as confederacy rejected to acknowledge the soldiers which belong to African-American native as well as they refused to claim white commanders as prisoners of war as further calling black men as ‘Rebel Slaves’.

Answer 2

The correct answer would be: they were usaully killed.
They were almost always starved to death(less than one meal a day), the spaces were way over cramped, there were sicknesses being passed around and no one was caring for them. Being in these camps has been said to be just as bad as slavery.
