Between 1861 and 1865, American Civil War prison camps were operated by the Union and the Confederacy to detain over 400,000 captured soldiers. From the start of the Civil War through to 1863 a parole exchange system saw most prisoners of war swapped relatively quickly. However, from 1863 this broke down following the Confederacy's refusal to treat black and white Union prisoners equally, leading to soaring numbers held on both sides. Lorien Foote has noted, "the suffering of prisoners did more to inhibit postwar reconciliation than any other episode of the war."

  • Between 1861 and 1865, American Civil War prison camps were operated by the Union and the Confederacy to detain over 400,000 captured soldiers. From the start of the Civil War through to 1863 a parole exchange system saw most prisoners of war swapped relatively quickly. However, from 1863 this broke down following the Confederacy's refusal to treat black and white Union prisoners equally, leading to soaring numbers held on both sides. Records indicate the capture of 211,411 Union soldiers, with 16,668 paroled and 30,218 died in captivity; of Confederate soldiers, 462,684 were captured, 247,769 paroled and 25,976 died in captivity. Just over 12% of the captives in Northern prisons died, compared to 15.5% for Southern prisons. Lorien Foote has noted, "the suffering of prisoners did more to inhibit postwar reconciliation than any other episode of the war." (en)
  • Les camps de prisonniers de la guerre de Sécession étaient utilisés à la fois par l'Union et la Confédération pour gérer les 409 000 soldats capturés pendant la guerre de 1861 à 1865. Le Record and Pension Office comptait en 1901 211 000 soldats de l'Union capturés. En 1861-1863, la plupart furent immédiatement mis en liberté conditionnelle ; après l'effondrement du système d'échange de libérations conditionnelles en 1863, environ 195 000 personnes sont allées dans des camps de prisonniers. Certains tentèrent de s'échapper mais beaucoup échouèrent. En revanche, 464 000 confédérés furent capturés (beaucoup dans les derniers jours de la guerre) et 215 000 emprisonnés. Plus de 30 000 prisonniers de l'Union et près de 26 000 prisonniers confédérés sont morts en captivité. Un peu plus de 12 % des captifs dans les prisons de l'Union sont morts, contre 15,5 % pour les prisons confédérées. (fr)
