Asked by Wiki User

Clara Barton is called the angel of the battlefield for many different reasons. She helped soldiers at the front line of battle. She also wrote letters to the family and friends of injured or sick soldiers informing them on their loved one's condition. Clara was also the first one to go to the front lines because she was brave and was not afraid to help others, even if it meant putting her own life on the line. In this way she was like an angel to the soldiers, on the battlefield and off.

Clara Barton believed that everyone should have the right to access medical assistance, humanitarian aid and medicine when they need it. And she was right.
She also believed in free education, and opened a free public school.

She founded the American Red Cross, an organisation which provides medical care and medicine to those who need it.
Clara in particular provided medical care to the injured soldiers of the American civil war on both sides of the fighting.

The American Red Cross Association still exists to this day.

As for religious beliefs, she never publicly actively participated in any church or religious service as we know of. However she did write in a letter once to a friend mentioning her support for the Universalist Church of America, the church her parents attended when she was a child.

Asked by Wiki User

Clara barton was born in December 25 1821

Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross foundation. She also became a teacher at the age of seventeen and founded her own school which she wasn't elected to teach in. The board of directors hired a man instead of her. Clara Barton then thought that she should be paid as much as any man should for the same amount of work. Although many today think she has the right idea, it is still a problem of uneven salaries in today's society.
