Which two key details from “The Most Famous Woman in America” best support the idea that Barton establishes the American Red Cross to assist people during war and during peace?


“There were only a few Red Cross rules, she explained. The most important was that all men who were wounded in war would be cared for.”

“‘It will help whenever there is a fire, flood, cyclone, hurricane, earthquake, or other disaster where it can be of use.’”

“Again she had started something that had never been done before by anyone, man or woman, in this country.”

“‘I myself am serving without pay and so are these officers. Our only thought is to make the American Red Cross a success.’”
