In March 1863, the Confederacy adopted its second national flag, which was intended to bear no resemblance either to the first national flag or the Union's Stars and Strips. Unfortunately, during battle this flag's long white field often made it appear to be a surrender flag. This flag draped Stonewall Jackson's casket in 1864 and flew over Fort Sumter until the Confederate evacuation of Charleston in February 1865

Don't know where the name may be written out in this format, but it must be Andersonville!

The only Prison I could find any info on was Andersonville prison. I didn't see it called "Georgia Hell" but from what I read it sure sounded like it!
