Clara Barton (December 25, 1821-April 12, 1912) was both famous and honored in her lifetime—and has a well-earned place in American history—as the angel of Civil War battlefields and founder of the American Red Cross. Clarissa Harlowe Barton, the fifth and youngest child of Sarah Stone and Stephen Barton, was born on Christmas Day, 1821, in Oxford, Massachusetts, a small farming community. Her father was prominent in the local Universalist church. She remembered the church as austere, with tall box pews and high narrow seats, where the faith was "hammered out" in "an incongruous winter atmosphere." She loved to hear her father reminisce about his Revolutionary War experience in the army of General "Mad" Anthony Wayne. The Barton household was a stressful place for the timid and sensitive child. Because she was small and had a lisp she was teased by members of her family. Her emotionally unbalanced mother was given to sudden fits of rage. Her older sister Dolly mothered her, but had a mental breakdown when Clara was six. Thereafter, sister Sally looked out for Clara while Dolly remained locked in an upstairs room. Clara learned early to make the best of a difficult family situation, a skill she put to considerable use in her pioneering career as an army nurse. Clara was taught to read by Dolly and Sally at such an early age that she had "no knowledge of ever learning to read." Her brother Stephen taught her mathematics. Brother David began teaching her to ride bareback when she was only five. She attended a district school during three-month winter and summer sessions. Academically advanced but emotionally immature, she was first sent away to school at age eight, but was unable to stay and soon returned home.

Ullyses S. Grant, Union general who went on to become General-in-Chief of the Union Army. He became known for his capture of two CS fort (Fort Henry and Fort Donelson) in 1862 and his capture of Vicksburg in 1863. He was born in Ohio and served the entire war. He went on to become the president of the US after being on the winning side. Robert Edward Lee, Confederate general from Virginia. He started the war as an advisor to President Jefferson Davis and was given command of the Army of Northern Virginia in 1862. He served the entire war and became the ranking Confederate general but still only commanded one third of the CS Army before surrendering his command in April 1865 to general Grant. He is considered interesting for his bold combat moves of troops, his victories in the face of stronger union numbers, and his strength of character. William Tecumseh Sherman, Union general from Ohio. He rose from the rank of Colonel to command the Army of the Ohio and became famous early in the war for an emotional melt-down, but thanks to his friendship with Grant and his abilities of commanding aggressive troops, he went on to be known for his Atlanta campaign and the March to the Sea and into the Carolinas. He is probably more infamous for his bringing the "Total War" concept of taking the war to civilians and his very name alone will bring contempt to most native Georgians and South Carolinians to this day.
