Answer:

Clara Barton was an American nurse and humanitarian during the Civil War. She has been described as an untamable spirit and is especially remembered for organizing the American Red Cross.

Explanation:

In April 1861, after the First Battle of Bull Run, Barton created an agency to obtain and distribute supplies to wounded soldiers. General William Hammond gave her a pass to travel in the army ambulances to give comfort to the soldiers and cure them. She pressured the Union Army bureaucracy, first unsuccessfully, to bring their own medical supplies to the battlefield. Finally, in July 1862, she obtained permission to travel behind the battle line, reaching the darkest battlefields and serving during the sieges of Petersburg, Virginia, and Richmond, Virginia. In 1864, Union General Benjamin Butler named her "lady manager" of the hospitals in charge of James's Army.  

In 1865, President Abraham Lincoln commissioned her to search for missing persons of the Union army. While she was engaged in this work, she found out about the whereabouts of 30,000 men. When the war was over, she was sent to Andersonville, Georgia to install and mark the tombs of Union soldiers who were buried there. This experience motivated her to start a national campaign to identify the missing soldiers during the Civil War. She published lists of names in the newspapers and corresponded with the families of the soldiers.

Barton gave talks about his experiences of war. She met Susan B. Anthony and began a long association with the suffrage movement. She also met Frederick Douglass and became an activist for the civil rights of blacks.

kkurt [141]
The Lawyer of Linda Brown claimed that those schools were racist and segregated students based on archaic and incorrect beliefs that there is genetic difference between white and black people in which the African-Americans are not as developed. Of course, the supreme court ruled that we are all equal and the schools were forced to put the students together.

How should voters prepare for election? Write a single paragraph explaining your answer
baherus [9]

<em>Voters should not listen to social media or what their best friend says about the candidates. They should also leave out feelings and look at the facts and statistics about each candidate, see which views you support. Which candidate supports your views and will work for you? Instead of listening to what someone else says, research yourself. If you don't do the research and you vote for someone based on others opinions, you have failed yourself.</em>
