The correct answer is "He thinks they are overconfident."

The word vauntingly comes from the verb vaunt, which means to "to boast or praise excessively". This may well describe the current scenario during the early years of the Revolutionary War, as the British exercised complete control over the colonies. They had the military advantage and support from the Royal Army. This could have let them be overconfident of the outcome of an eventual conflict.

Why did Frederick Douglass devote his time into Women's Rights?
Scilla [17]

Explanation:

Frederick Douglass believing that “Right is of no sex, truth is of no color,” Douglass urged an immediate end to slavery and supported Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and other women’s rights activists in their crusade for woman suffrage. in july of 1848, M’Clintock invited Douglass to attend the First Women’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, NY. Douglass readily accepted, and his participation at the convention revealed his commitment to woman suffrage. shortly after the convention, Douglass wrote,

"In respect to political rights, we hold woman to be justly entitled to all we claim for man. We go farther, and express our conviction that all political rights which it is expedient for man to exercise, it is equally so for women. All that distinguishes man as an intelligent and accountable being, is equally true of woman; and if that government is only just which governs by the free consent of the governed, there can be no reason in the world for denying to woman the exercise of the elective franchise, or a hand in making and administering the laws of the land. Our doctrine is, that “Right is of no sex.”"
