The Johnson's Island Civil War Prison of 1862-1865 served as a vital depot for the confinement of confederate prisoners-of-war during much of the American Civil War. This prison was one of 65 such facilities in which the United States and Confederate Governments held hundreds of thousands of military prisoners during the American Civil War. It has been said that nothing in 19th Century Warfare better illustrates man's inhumanity to man than the Civil War Prisoner-of-War Camps and Stockades.
