- Clara Barton - The Woman who founded the American Red Cross Society during the American Civil War.
Clarissa Harlowe Barton (December 25, 1821 - April 12, 1912) was an American nurse who founded the American Red Cross. She was a hospital nurse in the American Civil War, a teacher, and a patent clerk. Since nursing education was not then very formalized and she did not attend nursing school, she provided self-taught nursing care. Barton is noteworthy for doing humanitarian work and civil rights advocacy at a time before women had the right to vote. She was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1973.
Barton achieved widespread recognition by delivering lectures around the country about her war experiences in 1865-1868. During this time she met Susan B. Anthony and began an association with the woman's suffrage movement. She also became acquainted with Frederick Douglass and became an activist for civil rights. After her countrywide tour she was both mentally and physically exhausted and under doctor's orders to go somewhere that would take her far from her current work. She closed the Missing Soldiers Office in 1868 and traveled to Europe. In 1869, during her trip to Geneva, Switzerland, Barton was introduced to the Red Cross and Dr. Appia; he later would invite her to be the representative for the American branch of the Red Cross and help her find financial benefactors for the start of the American Red Cross. She was also introduced to Henry Dunant's book A Memory of Solferino, which called for the formation of national societies to provide relief voluntarily on a neutral basis.

The civil war is so interesting. Do more history videos about it.
I agree. I typically have been mostly doing bios, so there will be more, but i'm not doing them chronologically.
Either it was just chance or just the algorithm playing on something I do on a daily basis, but you have earned a new subscriber. One who is glad to be one of those millions of Volunteers for the American Red Cross.
Keep up the great work.
