During the Civil War, 140 Confederate soldiers imprisoned in Madison died. Their Wisconsin grave markers remain a source of controversy, a reminder of the pain and suffering that endures from slavery. We talk to an author who explored who these soldiers — and the northerners who fought them — were and what their legacy is.
