What is the big deal?
Women volunteering as nurses during the Civil War caused many things. If these women hadn't volunteered, injured soldiers wouldn't have gotten the medical help they needed. Therefore, decreasing the number of soldiers fighting. The Civil War could have ended up much different without them. Some nurses like Annie Bell made an impact on society, but, didn't leave much information about themselves. Others, such as Louisa May Alcott or Clara Barton, left much information behind about themselves, doing many great things in their lifetime.
Also, because of these women, volunteering their time and energy to help our country, helped lead to the acceptance of women in the workforce.
