Could anyone please help me out to summary that two paragraphs or rewrite it with another word

1-Thousands of women served as volunteer nurses during the Civil War. There is a very little written record of their service through a few of the more famous names left accounts, including Louisa May Alcott, Jane Stuart Woolsey, Susie King Taylor, and Katherine Prescott Wormeley. At the beginning of the war, nurses were merely volunteers who showed up at military hospitals. But after the Battle Of Bull Run, Clara Barton and Dorethea Dix organized a nursing corps to help care for the wounded soldiers.

2- African-Americans served in the Civil War on both the Union and Confederate sides. In the Union army, over 179,000 African American men served in over 160 units, as well as more serving in the Navy and support positions. This number comprised of both northern free African Americans and runaway slaves from the South who enlisted to fight. In the Confederacy, African-Americans were still slaves and they served mostly in labor positions. By 1865, the South allowed slaves to enlist but very few actually did.
