South Africa, where the British invented the Concentration camps and murdered 40 000 innocent women and children

Pardon the thread drift, but I seem to recall Ken Burns' film of the (US) Civil War portraying the Confederate Army/Administration as having established the "first concentration camp"; apart from the dates (not being a US citizen I've had much less exposure to salient myths/folklore/real historical facts than US 'catters), which I gather were around 1864, I can't present details, but I do recall Burns making the assertion.
