During the American Civil War, the Confederates operated a prisoner-of-war camp near Andersonville, Georgia. This picture of a prisoner gives the viewer a glimpse of the prison's brutal conditions. Confederate soldiers crammed tens of thousands of prisoners into the camp, leading to over 13,000 deaths. I've put a 'spoiler' on the photo because some may find it disturbing.

So this would be the 1860’s right?
What’s the difference between POW camps that result in this, and the Concentration Camps ‘invented by’ the British in the Boer War of 1880’s?

No idea mate. That's probably a question for Jacob Rees-Mogg.

Evidently, this poor dog got stuck in a tree and never made it out again. However, instead of returning to nature, the dog became mummified.
