Agreeing with Beth's argument

Beth, a little girl in the Children of the Confederacy, argues that the concentration camps during the Civil War were too cruel. I agree with her argument, but I find it hard to find evidence to support my claim. I have not heard or seen anything about the concentration camp or imprisoning during the semester.

Closest thing I may be able to use, would be that I am now in college away from my family. I am forced to study hard and had a couple of all nighters already, and I did not get to go home last week because of the coming tests. I miss my family not seeing for two weeks, and I find it very cruel for those people in the camps unable to see their family for such long time and go through hardships. Whereas being in college is much less severe compared to the concentration camps during the Civil War, Beth compares the camps to the concentration camps during hallocaust which was much more severe.
