The Andersonville event involved the Confederate States of America, specifically the Andersonville prison camp, during the American Civil War. The people who were involved and affected by this event were the Confederate soldiers who were captured and held as prisoners of war at the Andersonville prison camp. Thousands of Union soldiers were overcrowded, starved, and subjected to harsh conditions at the camp.

The event was the mistreatment and neglect of Union prisoners of war at Andersonville. The Confederate soldiers and officials responsible for running the camp failed to provide adequate food, shelter, and medical care to the prisoners, resulting in a high death rate. Disease, malnutrition, and exposure to harsh elements led to the deaths of around 13,000 Union soldiers over the course of 14 months.

Andersonville prison camp was located in Georgia, near the village of Andersonville. It covered approximately 26.5 acres of land and was surrounded by a stockade to keep the prisoners contained.

The event took place from February 1864 to April 1865, during the American Civil War.
