What were events leading up to the Battle of Andersonville in the Civil War?
I’m working on a powerpoint, and i need events leading up to this battle, &explain why the battle happened-what incidents caused it ?
By August, 1864, there were 32,000 Union Army prisoners in Andersonville. The Confederate authorities did not provide enough food for the prison and men began to die of starvation. The water became polluted and disease was a constant problem. Of the 49,485 prisoners who entered the camp, nearly 13,000 died from disease and malnutrition.
