Clara Barton. She was important to our sosiety because she was a nurse in the civil war. She was also the founder of the red cross fesility. and another thing is that when she was helping a man to get a drink in the civil war hospital when she nelt down to give the man the drink she noticed a bullet hole in her sleave. And after discovering that she looked at the man and the bullet had killed the man she was helping. She is also the helper to open one of the first public schools. She is also the first blind deaph person to be a nurse. So imagine being blind and deaph to help people in the world. You can also learn more about her in one of her books. They made one called Clara Barton Spirit of the Red Cross. And that is all about Clara Barton.
