Not really. Lets face it, other than the Third Reich, the US was the last great slave empire on earth, and the Confederacy was created for the express purpose of expanding it and keeping countless millions in bondage forever.

If they had started building extermination camps, I would agree fully. I agree only to the extent that they were Evil and had to be shut down.

Andersonville was not built for the express purpose of killing POW’s, it was more a case of a lack of resources to maintain them in any humane manner.
