Where is Andersonville prison camp?

Near the town of Andersonville in southwest Georgia It was a horrible Civil War Prison Camp there was open-air stockade, enclosed by 20 foot-high log walls, grew to 26 acres, but remained horribly overcrowded and conditions became more and more intolerable. Running in the middle of the camp was a stagnant, befouled stream, absurdly named Sweet Water Branch, used as a sewer as well as for drinking and bathing. There were no barracks; prisoners were forbidden to construct shelters, and while some did erect tents and flimsy lean-tos, most were left fully exposed to the elements. Medical treatment was virtually nonexistent. Sounds like HELL! Nearly 13000 died there.......

How many died in war in Vietnam?

U.S. 58,000 troops were killed the North vietnamese army 1.1 million deaths 1,170,000 people were injured Also, estimates for civilian deaths range from .5 to 2 million. There is difficulty in nailing down this number, because of several factors: distinguishing between VC and Civilians was often difficult poor census numbers, leading to inability to accurately count deaths reluctance on the part of all parties to accurately count civilian deaths (propensity to over-inflate or under-count, depending on the entity)debate over including executed civilians not specifically related to combat (significant number of both North and South Vietnamese were killed by government forces of both sides in politically-motivated actions not remotely related to actual combat). Note, most death counts cover 1959 - 1975. Also, all of the numbers above EXCLUDE any deaths in Laos and Cambodia. A ballpark number for the entire regional death toll is 5+ million. See the link below for a summary of military KIA for the war. Over 58,000 US Servicemen died in the war; for casualties of other nations, see: Vietnam War casualties.
