Fairly well, but if taken as a POW they were treated harshly. Andersonville was a confederate prisoner of war camp in the final12 months of the civil war. War crimes were committed in this prison of union soldiers. They had lack of food, water, and lived in unsanitary conditions. Of the 45,000 men held there nearly 13,000 died from scurvy, diarrhea, and dysentery.
