Hi and welcome to Wikipedia. Please note that deleting content from an article will never be a "minor" edit, so please don't tick the box for "minor edit" in edit summaries when it is an edit that someone could possible object to. WP:MINOR has more info about that.

The content you deleted was accurate, so I reverted it and cited it even more clearly. (talk) 18:54, 29 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Thx for follow up. Forgive me if I have missed something, but I see no reference in the document to the Federal government purchasing this land for a POW camp in 1917 (during WWI) or the City of Atlanta buying it back before the Prison Farm usage. Please point out where the "accurate" points are. I do not mean to be a pain in the butt about this, but "Cop City" is a huge issue in my community now. Thanks.

 * I don't know how to point it out to your more clearly, it is page i of the source, as per the updated citation.
 * So I will quote it:
 * "The site was originally purchased by the Atlanta Council/City of Atlanta during the middle of the civil war in 1863 for intended use as a cemetery; however, reportedly was never used for these purposes. In 1917 the land was purchased by the federal government for use as a prisoner of war (POW) camp; however, it was never put to use and in approximately 1918 was purchased by the Bureau of Prisons and United States Federal Penitentiary in Atlanta for use as the Atlanta Prison Farm."
