During the Civil War, the Confederates POW camp experienced an act of God when the stream which fed through the prison had dried up and a spring appeared in the middle of the camp, which they named Providence Spring. I bet there was a lot of prayers answered during that period of time.
Yes. That was Andersonville in GA. I am certain the fact that it was built in a swamp had nothing at all to do with a spring opening up.
Yes, right after the stream went dry.
Oi vey. They were sitting in the middle of a swamp and, considering the time, a large portion of the prisoners had been farmers. Do you actually think that none of them thought to dig?
Believe as you like.
