	Conditions at Andersonville Civil War Prison, Southeast Archaeological Center (SEAC)
		n November 1863, Confederate Captain W. Sidney Winder was sent to the village of Andersonville in Sumter County, in south-central Georgia, near the present-day towns of Americus and Plains, to assess the potential of building a prison for captured Union soldiers.
		The prison guards, composed mostly of older men and boys, watched from sentry boxes (called "pigeon roosts" by the prisoners) perched atop the stockade and shot any prisoner who crossed a wooden railing, called the "deadline." The prison pen initially covered 16 1/2 acres, but was enlarged in June 1864 to 26 1/2 acres.
		A prison for enlisted soldiers, it was designed to hold 10,000, but by August 1864, due to deteriorating resources and the breakdown of the prisoner exchage system, the prison population had swelled to over 32,000.

	Andersonville Prison, February 1864 - April 1865
		Officially named Camp Sumter, the most notorious Civil War stockade was hastily constructed in early 1864 near the town of Andersonville in southwest Georgia.
		Consequently, after being tried by a U.S. military court and convicted of war crimes, the prison's commander, Captain Henry Wirz, was hanged in November 1865 for "impairing the health and destroying the lives of prisoners." Meanwhile, Clara Barton and other government workers compiled a list of 12,912 prisoners who had died at the camp.
		The North had learned of the camp's appalling conditions well before the emaciated survivors were released in 1865, and outraged citizens urged retribution on Southern prisoners of war.
