Captain Henry Wirz was executed during the American Civil War as he was considered one of the most evil war criminals. He was the Commandant of Andersonville Prison or Camp Sumter as it was known, and here the conditions were truly awful. There was a lack of food and clean water, and each day Union prisoners were succumbing to disease and the other evils of the camp. It was lawless as raiders would add to further suffering.
But for his crimes Henry Wirz was sentenced to death and he was then executed on a gallows in Washington as hundreds of people looked on.
