Camp Liberty!

Edit

Camp Liberty! (the exclamation point was part of the title)[1] was a United States POW camp located outside of Indianapolis, Indiana during the Second Great War. Confederate quartermaster Jerry Dover was sent to Camp Liberty! shortly after his capture in 1944. Dover was impressed and intimidated by how substantial the camp and its buildings were constructed, illustrating to him the USA's relative wealth compared to the CSA. The camp was surrounded by a barbed-wire topped wall and moat with the prisoner barracks built with solid bricks on poured concrete bases. This contrasted with C.S. POW camps that were of insubstantial wood construction surrounded by just barbed-wire, showing that the U.S. had resources to spare.[2]

Dover stayed there for the remainder of the war, and was released and sent home to Augusta, Georgia only after swearing an oath to live peacefully and not resist U.S. authorities.[3]
