African American prisoners were usually killed in Confederate prison camps.

Further Explanation:-

The civil war prison camps were known to be terrible places. It was the Andersonville prison which was considered as most terrible for prisoners. Prisoners of this place looked like living skeletons as they had to suffer such harsh conditions in that prison. 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’. Because they were given the tag of ‘Rebel Slaves’. African-American soldiers who were prisoners of war were given more harsh punishments which even led to their execution and they were usually killed in confederate camps.

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.

Anastasy [175]

Georgia was the newest colony at the time and was still in development. Many people in Georgia were either straight from Britain or had parents/grandparents from Britain. This I believe is why there wasn't as much opposition to the crown in Georgia.

Natalija [7]

Answer:

Many maintain that the primary cause of the war was the Southern states' desire to preserve the institution of slavery. Others minimize slavery and point to other factors, such as taxation or the principle of States' Rights. Two major themes emerge in these documents: slavery and states' rights.
