President Jimmy Carter, who had worked toward's Andersonville's inclusion in the National Park System, encouraged the State of Georgia to place a monument at the park.

Dedicated on Memorial Day 1976, the Georgia Monument serves as a memorial to all American prisoners of war.

In his own words, sculptor William Thompson described his imagery and intent in designing the Georgia Monument:
In creating a sculpture for Andersonville National Historic Site, it was my intention to design a monument which is sculpturally strong and humanly moving.

This sculpture is dedicated to all American prisoners involved in all American wars over our country's birth up to the present. The sculpture is designed to have a universal quality, and no reference to any particular uniform or specific details have been made. The accent has been placed on the inner struggle and strength of the prisoners.

The statue is intended to speak directly to the viewer in its formal sculpture statement, and about the strength of brotherhood and man's dependence upon God, in its symbolism.

The placement of the figures marching in a broken line is to call to mind the formations that all prison camps require. The placement of the prisoners on the incline plane of the granite base emphasizes the fact that it is an uphill struggle just to survive under prison camp conditions. These men have exhausted their human resources and now look beyond one another to God for strength. (Note description on the base.)

The two figures in front are united by the overlapping of their arms, which accent the supportive nature of the group. The support of a fellow prisoner often made the difference between life and death, and the sculpture composition and gesture of the monument is to bring this fact into dramatic focus. Men are often captured as a result of their battle wounds, and others develop maladies and injuries during their imprisonment, therefore, I decided to depict my prisoners with wounds.
