Meet Civil War Nurse Clara Barton, The Woman of Selfless Determination Who Helped Found the American Red Cross

As night fell, the gunfire ceased. Clara Barton had been nursing soldiers since the Battle of Antietam began, and now she ensured that the barn with wounded soldiers was well lit with the lanterns she brought.

Are We Headed for a Civil War?

What America Is to Be?

Commentary America is at war! Not with China or Russia, although we have major conflicts with those two countries. We are at “war” with each other. Neighbors against neighbors; blue states against the red states. We have been here before, and the level of intensity this time is as potentially damaging as the Civil War…
