Answer 2

A) Molly Pitcher.

Step-by-step explanation:

It was the final battle of the Philadelphia campaign. Five days after the battle a story began to spread about a woman who had taken her husband´s place working a gun after he was incapacitated. Then, through the years, it comes out two accounts of a woman who supplied ammunition to the guns or gave water to the soldiers.

In the 19th century, the myths became glamourize as the legend of Molly Pitcher. According to some historians is very likely that the tale is an amalgam of different women seen on the battlefield that day.
