[…] Ferias sanitarias durante la guerra civil dejaron que los patrocinadores demostraron su apoyo financiero y moral para los soldados. La feria sanitaria de Filadelfia también conocido como la gran feria central era el pináculo de todas las ferias sanitarias de la cual fue la única que habló el president Abraham Lincoln.

También con la investigación vi que las mujeres podían participar en la comisión sanitaria estadounidense pero los Afroamericanos no. La iglesia de St. Thomas African Episcopal Church ubicada en 6361 Lancaster Avenue formó su propio grupo para ayudar las necesidades sanitarias de los soldados minoritarios. […]
