Wrong, Mr. William Watts....you have apparently have not read the transcripts of the Andersonville Trial where Henry Wirz was placed on trial. The transcripts clearly shows how he turned away wagons full of food donated by good Southern people of the area when they heard about the massive starvation suffering by the Union prisoners. These folks, thinking that they were doing their Christian duty, choose to help their enemy but was turned back by the men who wore the gray. Conditions at Elmira was nothing like Andersonville. Most of the Confederates died at Elmira was due to hygienic problems which was still not understood by neither sides of the war. Unlike Andersonville, there was no plan to starve or force Confederate POWs into holes while living in nakedness and among their own filth. That was the Confederate plan as designed by General John Winder who proudly claims to be killing off more Yankees then Bobby Lee!! Winder commanded the prison camps within the Confederacy.
