It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! T

he next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

Answer:

Women were respected because they helped create and sustain the world.

Explanation:

The Iroquois respected their women greatly because they were the ones who brought them to life. Women are those who have to carry their babies for nine months, take care of themselves in order to preserve the baby's life, sacrifice a lot of things in order to bring the baby safely to this word, which is why this Native American tribe valued women greatly.

They didn't worship them because that would be blasphemy to their gods as women are human, not gods. Options A and B are incorrect because that's a negative view of women that the Iroquois did not have.
