It was packed with thousands of Union prisoners throughout its operation. At its height, Andersonville held 33,000 prisoners and held 45,000 total through out the duration of the camps existance. Almost 13,000 prisoners would die while at Andersonville. An average, 100 prisoners would die a day. The prisoners had little food, no shelter and suffered from numerous diseases such as scurvy, diarrhea and dysentery. Prison camps on both sides suffered from deplorable conditions during this time. However, Andersonville remains notorious due to its high death rate. Andersonville would finally be liberated in May of 1865.
