Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both Northern and Southern prisoner of war camps were notorious for their harsh conditions. Thousands of prisoners died from exposure, overcrowding, and malnutrition. Exchange or release of prisoners was not always possible due to the nature of the conflict, and the International Red Cross was unable to monitor conditions effectively. While some prisoners were executed for attempting to escape, it is unlikely that half or more of the prisoners suffered this fate. Option E is clearly incorrect, as both sides took significant numbers of prisoners throughout the war.
