Ch.4- Ch.6

These chapters added on to the previous chapters, but there was something that was explained in more detail that really interested me. The way that the USSC contributed to the war is amazing. Though they slowly advanced over time, I do not believe as many people would survive without all there efforts to save lives and improve overall health of people and hospitals. In my opinion, the USSC was definitely the best advancement and organization that was created at the time. There were some negative aspects about it, like some of the leaders were arrogant when it came trying to organize and agree on laws and trying to make sure they were in all the places the war was, but overall, it had an extremely positive outcome. It also helped involve women in the war. Women were not allowed to fight so they probably felt useless to their men, but when the USSC was organized, it allowed women to volunteer as nurses so they could help support their troops. Though men were still in charge of the USSC, I believe the women had the biggest impact when it came to making everything more sanitary and safer and giving the men the support and care they need while they were wounded or ill, and I think the author agree. The main goals of the USSC was to create, promote cleanliness, and make good hospitals and I am excited to see the end product of all the advancements the USSC makes.
