Although men were an important part of the war, women became equally important. Four famous women of the Civil War are Clara Barton, Harriet Tubman, Sarah Edmonds, and Nancy Hart. These women were very bold, courageous and courageous. They made a huge difference in the Civil War and became Civil War heroes. Clara Barton had a great impact on the war. Clara Barton, who was originally a registration clerk, took action when federal troops entered her town. The troops were wounded, hungry and barely clothed. Barton cared for the Union soldiers by bringing them food, clothing, and supplies for the sick. In addition to helping meet the soldier's needs, Barton also provided emotional support to the men. She was able to help the men keep their spirits and hope high. The ways he consoled them were by reading, praying for them, listening to their problems, and writing letters for their loved ones. Barton was able to develop a group of volunteers and gather supplies for the future when soldiers needed them. Barton not only wanted to help the soldiers in his town, but also the soldiers on the battlefield. She turned to government leaders and asked for permission to provide the army with medical service and support. She was granted permission to aid Union soldiers on the battlefield. Later, after the Battle of Cedar Mountain, Barton arrived. He arrived on the battlefield with a wagon full of supplies for the soldiers. The surgeons helping the soldiers were surprised and declared that "she was an angel sent to them." Barton continued to help the troops even after they were treated. He would follow the Union troops with his wagon ready for any medical needs that unexpectedly arose. He also consoled, cooked and wrote for the soldiers. In... middle of paper... cooking, he told his daughter to go get water and his father. While the soldiers ate and drank, Hart pulled a gun from a hole in the wall. The soldiers stood up and she told them that if they moved she would shoot. One of the soldiers advanced towards her and she shot him dead. Another soldier rushed at her and she shot and wounded him. The rest of the men surrendered to her. When her husband entered, Hart still had the remaining soldiers at gunpoint. Instead of shooting them, Hart suggested they be hanged. Her husband and some neighbors took the remaining soldiers and hung them from a tree near their house. Then they buried the bodies near their home. Nancy Hart was a fearless woman who became a spy for the Confederacy. She was very sneaky and lethal. For these reasons she became a well-known woman involved in the Civil War.
