After the Civil War, Clara Barton had gained the honor and respect of many. Barton continued to do humanitarian work, but when she took a trip to Switzerland she realized that many countries need a relief system. So she came back to the states and founded the Red Cross, in 1881. Her help in the Civil War had given her experience in helping a wide amount of people. Soon the Red Cross had even established a help center in Turkey, in 1873. Even Until her death, Clara Barton was constantly helping people, putting others first. Barton died on April 12th, 1912 at age 90,and she will be constantly remembered for her work.
"It irritates me to be told how things have always been done. I defy the tyranny of the precedent. I cannot afford the Luxury of a closed mind" ~ Clara Barton
