Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Many American soldiers and sailors held as prisoners of war by the British died of disease because they received meager rations and were confined in prisons that were crowded and unsanitary. This is evidenced by the conditions in the prison ships where they were held, such as the infamous HMS Jersey. While some American prisoners did join the British army, it was not over half of them. And while they were not always treated inhumanely, conditions were often far from decent. Finally, while some American prisoners did go to England after the war, this was not true of many of them.
