i am studying this in school and saw a video on it. The horrible conditions these poor people had to live in! Sickness everywhere, Lack of food people dying before their eyes! How could these people have done this? All i know is that these people are true American heroes! 68.196.121.7 22:01, 21 January 2007 (UTC)Patriot678

Because during the American Revolution it was axiomatic that captors didn't have to look aftr their captives; the captives own side had to provide everything. That is why so many died; because George Washington had food directed to his fighting men rather than the PoWs.
