Posts from The Ringo Kid in thread „Andersonville (1996) (TV)“

    I saw this when it came out and thought it was well made and enjoyed it (for lack of better words considering the theme) and I thought it slightly unfair on their portrayal of Wirz--because in reality--though he was the bad guy--its been proven that he did not purposly starve or murder prisoners--though he was unnecessarily rough with many. Also, i had an ancestor Confederate of course--who was in Libby Prison--which was the yank version of Andersonville. After about 6 months in that hell hole--he escaped with 2-3 others and made it back to friendly lines where they fought to wars end.
