Andersonville, officially known as Camp Sumter, held more prisoners at any given time than any other Confederate military prison; according to the Civil War Trust, more than 45,000 Union soldiers were confined there, and 13,000 died from disease, poor sanitation, malnutrition, overcrowding, or exposure.
