War Crimes Executions

Continuing the Civil War theme from the last post........

I learned an interesting factoid last night as I was reading about the notorious Confederate prison, Andersonville.

Only 2 men were tried, convicted, and executed for war crimes committed during the Civil War.


     


Harry Wirz - commandant of the Andersonville prison

Champ Ferguson - Confederate guerrilla fighter


I guess I figured there were a WHOLLLLLLLE lot more than just 2.


Grace & Peace & Love to you all -

Matt
