B. Women taught their children values that supported the nation.

In the early–mid 1800s women in South Carolina (and broadly in the U.S.) had little formal political power—no voting, holding office, or jury service—but exerted influence through domestic roles like raising children and promoting civic virtues ("Republican motherhood").
