Clara Barton became known as “The Angel of the Battlefield” during the American Civil War. Born in Oxford, Massachusetts in 1821, Clara Barton’s interest in helping soldiers on the battlefield began when she was told army stories from her father. Another event that influenced her decision to help soldiers was an accident her brother had. His injuries were cared for by Barton for 2 years. At the time, she was only 11 years old. Barton began teaching school at the age of 15. She taught for 18 years before she moved to Washington, D.C in 1854.

The Civil War broke out 6 years later. Right away, Barton started war service by helping the soldiers with their needs. At the battle of Bullrun, Clara Barton received permission from the government to take care of the sick and hurt. Barton did this with great kindness. She recognized each soldier as a person. When the war ended in 1865, she used 4 years of her life to help the government in searching for soldiers who were missing during the war.

In 1869, while she was on vacation in Europe, she got to know the International Red Cross, an organization set up by the Geneva Convention in 1864. Clara Barton realized that the Red Cross would be a best help for the United States. After she returned to the United States, she worked very hard to create an American Red Cross. She talked to government leaders and let American people know about the Red Cross. In 1881, the National Society of the Red Cross was finally established in Washington, D.C. Clara Barton managed its activities for 23 years.
