Andersonville

Andersonville was a prison during the Civil War. The prison's purpose was to hold Union soldiers. On a daily schedule the prisoners would only receive a small ration of food. This is what led to many deaths. There were so many deaths which took place in the prison, the guards had to build mass burials. This later led to the end of the war when The Union Won. The Civil War finally was over on April 9, 1865. This was when Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered at the Appamattox Courthouse.
