The American Red Cross was founded in 1881 by Clara Barton to provide humanitarian aid during wartime. It has since expanded its mission to also help people affected by natural disasters and public health crises. During World War I, the Red Cross recruited over 20,000 nurses, raised $400 million, and helped victims of the 1918 influenza epidemic. After WWI, the Red Cross focused on helping veterans and established safety and health programs that it continues today.

Christianity is a religion that is based on a vision of human greatness rather than moral virtue. It has had both positive and negative impacts throughout history. Some famous Christians mentioned include Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Pierre Trudeau, Oscar Romero, and Dorothy Day, who were involved in social justice causes. Christianity is also expressed through art, literature, and social movements.

1. Religion and profit were major forces driving European colonization of America. Religion provided moral justification for conquest while profit was the primary economic motive.
2. The Europeans had technological and biological advantages over native populations that helped them take control, such as more advanced weapons, organized governments, and diseases that decimated indigenous groups.
3. Religion was used as both a weapon of conquest and a tool for cultural assimilation. Churches were established to assert authority and impose European beliefs, using fear and campaigns to eradicate native religions and traditions.

This document discusses the political situation in Spain from 1898 to 1917, a period of decline after the dynastic turn. It describes the rise of regenerationism under Antonio Maura, who attempted reforms but failed to curb electoral corruption. Political opposition increased from groups like republicans, Catalan nationalists, socialists, and anarchists. Maura resigned after harsh repression of protests in Barcelona in 1909. Liberal reforms followed under Canalejas, including laws limiting the Catholic Church. However, growing social and economic problems led to a major protest movement and general strike in 1917 aiming to overthrow the government amidst the crisis of World War I.
Katipunan Before the Revolution
- The Katipunan was founded in 1892 by Andres Bonifacio and others as a secret organization aimed at gaining independence from Spain through revolution.
- It had three membership classes (Katipon, Kawal, Bayani) and used codes and countersigns to maintain secrecy. The organization published a newspaper to help recruitment.
- When the Philippine Revolution began in 1896, the Katipunan split into the Magdalo and Magdiwang factions which used different flags and had disagreements over leadership.
A Difficult Past - How the Americas Change
The document discusses several topics related to 19th century history:
1) The American states struggled to build nations and societies after gaining independence from European powers in the late 18th/early 19th century. The US expanded rapidly westward and absorbed much of North America by mid-century.
2) The Little Ice Age occurred between the 16th-19th centuries and led to expanded glaciation and cooler global temperatures. This impacted human health in Europe through malnutrition and disease spread.
3) The US purchased the Louisiana Territory from France in 1803, doubling the size of the country and encompassing land that makes up 14 current US states and two Canadian provinces.
The church during the philippine revolution
The document summarizes the role of the Catholic Church during the Philippine Revolution against Spain from 1896-1898. It describes how anti-clerical groups like Freemasonry grew and accused the religious orders of abuses like accumulating wealth and opposing education in Spanish. This contributed to growing nationalism and calls for reforms like secularizing parishes. During the revolution itself, Catholic clergy remained loyal to Spain while nationalist groups like the Katipunan sought independence. The revolution succeeded with U.S. victory in 1898, but tensions remained over the Church's role and property.

The document discusses early European exploration and colonization in North America, noting that it resulted in cultural interactions among Europeans, Africans, and American Indians. It provides context on the motivations and characteristics of early settlements in different regions, including religious freedom in New England, economic opportunity in the Middle Atlantic and South, and the introduction of slavery in the South. The explorations and settlements often led to conflicts with American Indians over land and spread of diseases, while the growth of plantation economies expanded the slave trade from Africa.

The jesuit relations[1]
The Jesuit Relations were annual reports by French Jesuit missionaries on their efforts to convert Native Americans to Catholicism. The detailed descriptions of indigenous cultures and customs in the Relations made them a valuable historical resource. During the early decades, some Jesuits tried to convert Algonquins and Montagnais while others traveled farther to reach the Hurons. However, Christianity was an exclusive religion, and epidemics led some Natives to blame the Jesuits. Recurrent wars with the Iroquois also impacted the Jesuit missions. Eventually, peace was reached in the 1660s when the Five Nations made terms with the French and their allies.
How did spaniards convert indians
The document discusses how Spaniards attempted to convert Native Americans to Christianity through the mission system. It notes that while missions provided some benefits like tools, crops, and community, they also had high mortality rates due to disease and were essentially "death traps" for Indians. Over time, the mission system was reformed but faced resistance from both the native populations wanting to maintain their independence and the missionaries who lost power and control over the Indians. Ultimately, the level of success or failure of conversion depended greatly on the specific groups of people involved and varied depending on the time period and location.
The reformation and wars of religion
The Protestant Reformation began in the early 1500s in response to corruption within the Catholic Church. Some of the key causes included the selling of indulgences by priests to finance church projects, nepotism among high-ranking clergy, and the Church ignoring calls for reform from Christian humanists. Martin Luther's 95 Theses criticizing indulgences in 1517 is seen as sparking the Reformation. The new Protestant churches, including those led by Huldrych Zwingli and John Calvin, spread across Europe in the following decades, while Catholic monarchs like Henry VIII of England broke from Rome. The religious divide escalated conflicts like the Thirty Years' War, devastating much of central Europe.
What caused the pueblo revolt of 1680
The document is a compilation of essays that each analyze a potential cause of the 1680 Pueblo Revolt in New Mexico. The editor poses five questions - did the Pueblos revolt to save their traditions, did Franciscans invite martyrdom, did Pueblos revolt to save their lives, did the right leader make the revolt possible, and did the Spaniards' loss of authority encourage the revolt? Each essay answers one of the questions, with perspectives including religious disputes causing the revolt, martyrdom being welcomed, multiple factors like drought and oppression contributing, an important mestizo leader, and a loss of control over mestizos as a cause. In conclusion, the document

What caused the pueblo revolt of 1680
The document is a compilation of essays that each analyze a potential cause of the 1680 Pueblo Revolt in New Mexico. The essays discuss religious disputes between Spanish missionaries and Pueblo people, the role of martyrdom among Franciscans, the impacts of drought, famine and oppression on Pueblos, the importance of Mestizo leader Domingo Naranjo, and how the loss of Spanish authority due to acculturation and interbreeding may have encouraged revolt. While each essay examines a single potential cause, the conclusion is that the revolt likely had multiple, interrelated causes rather than a single triggering event.
Reform movement
The Second Great Awakening in the early 19th century led to numerous reforms as Christians sought to address societal issues. Key reforms discussed in the document include labor rights, temperance, prison reform, abolitionism, women's rights, and education. Religious revivalism inspired activists like Dorothea Dix and Horace Mann to champion causes like humane treatment of the mentally ill and public education for all. The reforms had lasting impacts and transformed many aspects of American society.
The pueblo revolt
The Pueblo Revolt of 1680 ended 80 years of Spanish occupation of Native American land in New Mexico. The Spanish had established missions to force Christianity upon the Pueblo people and require unpaid labor. Tensions increased due to drought, disease, and Spanish restrictions on Pueblo religion and culture. In 1680, Pueblo leaders organized a coordinated surprise attack on Spanish communities, overwhelming the Spanish. Over 400 Spanish were killed, churches were destroyed, and the Spanish were forced to retreat from New Mexico for over a decade. The Pueblo Revolt represented one of the few successful Native American uprisings against European colonizers in North America.
The Founding of Katipunan
The document summarizes the founding and history of the Katipunan, a secret revolutionary society established in Manila in 1892 by Andres Bonifacio and others. It details Bonifacio's background, the Katipunan's structure and leadership, the teachings promoted by Emilio Jacinto, and key events like the discovery of the society and the start of the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonial rule.

It discusses the movement of settlers beyond the Appalachians to the Ohio River Valley and beyond, noting the hardships of frontier life. It also examines the impacts on the environment through trapping and the near-extinction of beavers and buffalo. Large numbers of Irish and German immigrants arrived during this period, with over 1 million each from Ireland and Germany between 1830-1860. The Irish faced discrimination and settled in large cities, gaining political control. Germans were more rural and influenced American culture and opposed slavery. Their influx led to nativist and anti-Catholic movements like the Know-Nothing Party

Dir., on 16 November 2022 concerning its mission to the military (and veterans) through its Support to the Armed Forces Program (unique to the American Red Cross) together with a history on the Red Cross' origins in the United States.
Red cross establishment date
The American Red Cross was established on May 21, 1881 by Clara Barton to provide emergency assistance, disaster relief, and disaster preparedness education in the United States. Clara Barton had previously volunteered with the International Committee of the Red Cross during the Franco-Prussian War and helped establish aid programs. She drew inspiration from this work to found the American Red Cross, which has since grown to supply nearly 40% of the U.S. blood supply and responds to an emergency every eight minutes through disaster relief and other humanitarian aid programs.

The document summarizes key facts about the American Civil War:
- The Civil War was fought between Northern and Southern states from 1861 to 1865 over the issue of slavery. It was the bloodiest conflict in American history.
- Prior to the war, slave states allowed slavery while free states prohibited or eliminated it over time. Slavery was abolished by the 13th Amendment after the war.
- The population of the US in 1860 was 31 million, with 23 million in Northern states and 9 million in Southern states (including 3.5 million slaves).
- Medical care during the war was challenging. Disease was rampant, with each soldier getting sick on average twice. Over 10 million cases of injury and illness were
Clara Barton's Red Cross
Clara Barton was born in 1821 in Massachusetts and worked as a medic on Civil War battlefields, inspiring her to found the American Red Cross in 1881 in Washington D.C. at age 60. The Red Cross was established to provide aid to injured military personnel and expanded to give humanitarian aid during wars and natural disasters both domestically and abroad. Clara Barton dedicated her life to leading the American Red Cross in its mission of providing neutral medical assistance.

Public health has been part of human civilization since pre-500 BCE. In fact, the ancient Greek
physician Hippocrates was one of the first individuals credited with focusing on diseases as

Spotlight on Public Health Figures:
Clara Barton (1821–1912)
Who is Clara Barton?
Clara Barton was born in Massachusetts in 1821.
She originally worked at the U.S. Patent Office and
became an independent nurse during the Civil
War. She is primarily known for collecting and
distributing supplies for the Union Army during
the Civil War. She was nicknamed “the angel of
the battlefield” because of her willingness to walk
onto the field to aid the soldiers.
What was the political climate at
the time?
Barton lived during the Civil War. Before the
Civil War, the nation had already philosophically
divided into the anti-slavery North and pro-
slavery South. There were significant political
battles between the two major political parties:
Whigs and Democrats. The Missouri Compromise,
which consisted of laws that allowed each state to
determine slavery issues, was passed in 1850. It
ended slavery in the northern states, but it wasn’t
until the passage of the 1854 Kansas–Nebraska
Act repealing the Missouri Compromise that
the slavery dispute blew up into a major war. The Kansas–Nebraska Act also prompted the
founding of the anti-slavery political party now known as Republicans.
What was her contribution to public health?
She was one of the earliest health educators in the public health realm, focusing on nursing
and creating positive outcomes for population health. She was also the founder of the
American Red Cross, one of the most famous quasi-governmental agencies working to
improve the health of the nation.
What motivated her?
Barton was reportedly a very shy child, but she found her calling when her brother David
was injured during a farming accident. At age 11, she became David’s primary caretaker. For
2 years, she stayed home from school to care for her brother, who did eventually recover. It
was during that time that she realized she felt a calling to care for th.

The document discusses the rapid urbanization and growth of American cities in the late 19th century. It describes how the urban population tripled between 1870 and 1900, with 4 out of 10 Americans living in cities by 1900. The growth of large cities like New York and Chicago was spectacular during this period. This urban growth brought both opportunities and problems, including overcrowded tenement housing, lack of infrastructure, and public health issues.

The American Red Cross provided unprecedented relief efforts in response to the devastating Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma in 2005. They opened over 1,400 shelters across 31 states and the District of Columbia that provided over 3.8 million overnight stays. The Red Cross served over 68 million hot meals and snacks and provided emergency assistance to over 1.4 million families. This was the largest and most widespread relief operation in the history of the American Red Cross. Thanks to record-breaking public donations, the Red Cross was able to help survivors with food, shelter, home repairs and rebuilding their lives in the aftermath of the devastating storms.
Sample DCHA_Heritage
The document summarizes the history of hospitals in Washington D.C. from their origins in the early 19th century through the Civil War period. It notes that the first hospital, Washington Infirmary, was established in 1806 to serve the poor. During the Civil War, the influx of wounded soldiers led to the conversion of buildings like the Patent Office and Capitol into temporary hospitals. Notable hospitals discussed include Freedmen's Hospital, established in 1862 to care for freed slaves, and Saint Elizabeths Hospital, founded in 1852 to provide more humane treatment for the mentally ill. The document highlights how the Civil War dramatically increased Washington D.C.'s population and need for hospitals.

More people died from the 1918-1920 Spanish Influenza pandemic than there were casulties as a result of the First World War. This world-wide epidemic caused by influenza viruses led to between 50 and 100 million deaths in 1918 and 1919 (as much as 1 of every 18 people).
Many researchers have suggested that the conditions of the war significantly aided the spread of the disease. And others have argued that the course of the war (and subsequent peace treaty) was influenced by the pandemic.

Clara Barton (1821–1912)
Who is Clara Barton?
Clara Barton was born in Massachusetts in 1821.
She originally worked at the U.S. Patent Office and
became an independent nurse during the Civil
War. She is primarily known for collecting and
distributing supplies for the Union Army during
the Civil War. She was nicknamed “the angel of
the battlefield” because of her willingness to walk
onto the field to aid the soldiers.
What was the political climate at
the time?
Barton lived during the Civil War. Before the
Civil War, the nation had already philosophically
divided into the anti-slavery North and pro-
slavery South. There were significant political
battles between the two major political parties:
Whigs and Democrats. The Missouri Compromise,
which consisted of laws that allowed each state to
determine slavery issues, was passed in 1850. It
ended slavery in the northern states, but it wasn’t
until the passage of the 1854 Kansas–Nebraska
Act repealing the Missouri Compromise that
the slavery dispute blew up into a major war. The Kansas–Nebraska Act also prompted the
founding of the anti-slavery political party now known as Republicans.
What was her contribution to public health?
She was one of the earliest health educators in the public health realm, focusing on nursing
and creating positive outcomes for population health. She was also the founder of the
American Red Cross, one of the most famous quasi-governmental agencies working to
improve the health of the nation.
What motivated her?
Barton was reportedly a very shy child, but she found her calling when her brother David
was injured during a farming accident. At age 11, she became David’s primary caretaker. For
2 years, she stayed home from school to care for her brother, who did eventually recover. It
was during that time that she realized she felt a calling to care for th.

The document discusses the rapid urbanization and growth of American cities in the late 19th century. It describes how the urban population tripled between 1870 and 1900, with 4 out of 10 Americans living in cities by 1900. The growth of large cities like New York and Chicago was spectacular during this period. This urban growth brought both opportunities and problems, including overcrowded tenement housing, lack of infrastructure, and public health issues.

The American Red Cross provided unprecedented relief efforts in response to the devastating Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma in 2005. They opened over 1,400 shelters across 31 states and the District of Columbia that provided over 3.8 million overnight stays. The Red Cross served over 68 million hot meals and snacks and provided emergency assistance to over 1.4 million families. This was the largest and most widespread relief operation in the history of the American Red Cross. Thanks to record-breaking public donations, the Red Cross was able to help survivors with food, shelter, home repairs and rebuilding their lives in the aftermath of the devastating storms.

The document summarizes the history of hospitals in Washington D.C. from their origins in the early 19th century through the Civil War period. It notes that the first hospital, Washington Infirmary, was established in 1806 to serve the poor. During the Civil War, the influx of wounded soldiers led to the conversion of buildings like the Patent Office and Capitol into temporary hospitals. Notable hospitals discussed include Freedmen's Hospital, established in 1862 to care for freed slaves, and Saint Elizabeths Hospital, founded in 1852 to provide more humane treatment for the mentally ill. The document highlights how the Civil War dramatically increased Washington D.C.'s population and need for hospitals.

More people died from the 1918-1920 Spanish Influenza pandemic than there were casulties as a result of the First World War. This world-wide epidemic caused by influenza viruses led to between 50 and 100 million deaths in 1918 and 1919 (as much as 1 of every 18 people).
Many researchers have suggested that the conditions of the war significantly aided the spread of the disease. And others have argued that the course of the war (and subsequent peace treaty) was influenced by the pandemic.
Antebellumreforms
The document discusses several antebellum reforms in the United States between 1790-1900. It covers religious reforms stemming from the Second and Third Great Awakenings that led to utopian communities and social activism. Educational reforms established public schools through the work of Horace Mann and Joseph Lancaster. Women's suffrage movements began with the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848. Temperance movements aimed to prohibit alcohol, starting with the Maine Law of 1855. The abolition movement worked to end slavery, led by figures like William Lloyd Garrison. Dorothea Dix campaigned for better treatment of the mentally ill in asylums. Prison reforms established new penitentiaries with better conditions.
