The irony of this book is just off the charts. It feels like they're trying to put the Union in a bad light, when in fact the Confederates treated their own prisoners even worse! Remember Andersonville Mr. Murray?
 
TBH I don't think the CS should be held totally responsible for Andersonville, but tu quoque arguments are embarrassing and do more harm than anything else.
I think the guards were just tired of war, and mad at the Union as a whole, so they took it out on the prisoners. Who can blame em? I probably would've done the same thing in that situation. They also just didn't have enough food or space, which led to a lot of deaths in that department.

Elmira and other Union POW camps had horrifying death tolls as well. I'd argue these posts are a bit tit-for-tat. Modern people can see the evil in POW camps on both sides, I certainly hope.
 
So the statue you asked about is The Emancipation Memorial. The picture is taken from an odd angle which makes Lincoln look somewhat aggressive. But it doesn't appear to me that they have manipulated the photograph. In recent years some have criticized the statue for the way the enslaved man is portrayed.

They just manipulated the angle, then.

Here is the paradox, the descendant's of those same guards would three generations later lead Allied armies in the liberation of military prisons operated by Axis forces and demand those guards be tried as war criminals.
They had the same defense.
"I was just following orders"
My question to you is,
What's the difference?

Not to sidetrack this deeply serious thread, but... There are a number of very well written books about the POW camps of the Civil War which examine the high death rates - on both sides - with a balanced view and discuss what went wrong to cause so many deaths. I have read quite a few, due to a number of my family members having been held prisoner. Most reputable historians point to the fact that holding large numbers of men prisoner was unexpected and unprecedented for the US and CS and camps on both sides suffered for the lack of experience of the governments. There were specific instances of callous behavior on both sides, as well as real efforts to be humane. The more you learn the harder it is to sit in judgement of one side over the other.

I understand that, my family lost soldiers who were in those camps, both as rebels and yanks.
I stand by my statement. In humanity is a war crime.
