Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Andersonville Trial is a 1959 play based on the 1865 trial of Captain Henry Wirz on conspiracy and murder charges. During the trial, Colonel Norton P. Chipman and Otis Baker duked it out in court with Wirz's fate on the line, and ultimately the issue of Just Following Orders is brought up.A television adaptation was produced as the pilot episode of KCET's Hollywood Television Theatre in 1970, directed by George C. Scott (who portrayed Chipman in the original production) and starring William Shatner as Chipman, Jack Cassidy as Baker, Richard Basehart as Wirz, Cameron Mitchell as General Lew Wallace, and Buddy Ebsen as a witness describing the horrors to which Andersonville's prisoners were subjected.See also MacKinlay Kantor's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Andersonville. | |

Armor-Piercing Question | |
| The Andersonville Trial (Theatre) / int_7b6e47a5 | comment |
Armor-Piercing Question: During a recess in the trial, Baker confronted Chipman with the possibility of his being a puppet of a higher mortal power, not very much unlike Wirz. Chipman does not take it well. | |

Not So Different | |
| The Andersonville Trial (Theatre) / int_993cf18f | comment |
Not So Different: Baker outright tells Chipman that unless he can get the moral issues of Wirz's administration of Andersonville admitted in court, he would be no different than Wirz. | |

Courtroom Antics: Between Chipman and Baker. At one point, Baker comes extremely close to being held in contempt of court. | |
