In 1864, she was appointed â€œlady in chargeâ€ of the hospitals at the front lines of the Union Army, where she became known as the â€œAngel of the Battlefield.â€ Clara Barton built a career helping others.Â She went on to found the American Red Cross, one of her greatest accomplishments, and one of the most recognized organizations in the world.
