Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is d.

Explanation:

Republican Motherhood is a term that emerged in the American society of the post-Revolutionary era. At the time, it was deemed necessary that, from an early age, children were raised on patriotic and republican values. Women, whose role during that era was mostly centered about raising their children, were seen as the best suited to teach republican values to them. Schools for women were created, because as girls were raised on these values, it was expected they would pass them on to their children.
