The American Red Cross (ARC), also known as the American Red Cross Society, is a humanitarian organization that provides emergency relief, disaster relief and disaster preparedness education in the United States. This is the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Federation and the designated US branch of the US International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. ARC was founded in Washington, DC on May 21, 1881 and was founded by Clara Barton. She became the first President. Barton held a meeting at the home of Senator Omar D. Conger (Michigan State University) on May 12 of that year. Fifteen people including Barton, Conger, William Lawrence (R, OH) (who became the first vice president) participated in the first meeting. The first regional branch was founded in 1881 at the British Evangelical Lutheran Church in Dansville, New York.

On May 21, 1881, Clara Barton and a group of acquaintances established the American Red Cross in Washington, DC. When he visited Europe after the civil war, Burton first heard about the Swiss style International Red Cross movement. After returning home she exercised for the American Red Cross and approved the protection of the Geneva Convention worn by the war ratified by the United States in 1882. Barton led the Red Cross for 23 years, during which he carried out the first domestic and foreign relief efforts, helped the US military during the Spanish-American war, and successfully incorporated peace-time relief activities into the International Red Cross movement. The so-called "amendment of the United States" initially encountered some resistance in Europe.

Established by Clara Barton in 1881, the American Red Cross was an organization established before the war began. During the Second World War, the American Red Cross performed a series of important activities, including drawing blood for the medical needs of the military and families. The Red Cross organized 11 volunteer groups and carried out various activities during the war. Corps contain arts and skill troops, cafeteria troops, car troops, supplementary crops of volunteer nurses, captive rescue teams and victories
