Henry Wirz

Explanation:

Henry Wirz, was a Confederate officer, tried and executed at the end of the American Civil War for conspiracy and murder in connection with his command of the Sumter camp.

When the American Civil War broke out in 1861, Wirz volunteered in Company A, the fourth battalion of Louisiana, serving in the Army of the Confederate States. It is disputed whether he participated in the Battle of Seven Pines in May 1862, during which he was allegedly severely wounded by a Minie bullet and lost sensation in his right arm.

In February 1864, the Confederate government established the Sumter camp, a large military prison in Georgia, near the Anderson railway station (as it was then called), to house the prisoners of war of the Union. In March, Wirz took command of Campo Sumter, where he remained for more than a year.

Wirz was arrested in May 1865, by a contingent of federal cavalry and taken by train to Washington DC, where the federal government tried him for conspiring and endangering the lives of the Union's prisoners of war. A military court met with General Lewis Wallace. The other members of the commission were Guerxon Mott, John W. Geary, Tomás Lorenzo, Fessenden Francis, Edward S. Bragg, John F. Balli, John H. Stibbs. Norton P. Chipman was the prosecutor.

In July of 1865, the trial was held in the Capitol building and lasted for two months, it was a popular subject that monopolizes the front pages of newspapers across the United States. The court heard testimony from former inmates, Confederate officials and even the residents of Andersonville. Finally, in early November, the commission announced that it had found Wirz guilty of the conspiracy charges, along with 11 of 13 charges he was sentenced to death.

254.34

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for area of a circle is given by

a = pi * r^2

a = pi * 9^2

a = 81*pi

using 3.14 as an approximation for pi

a = 3.14*81

a = 254.34
