'''Both Taylor and Duffin’s report and Daniel Claus’s assessment indicate that the British viewed Molly Brant as a vital political connection''' as she represented British interests to Native Americans. As seen in Taylor and Duffin’s report, the fact that the British gave Molly Brant all the money she wanted shows their high opinion of her. '''Brant was also powerful within Native American communities'''. She persuaded a fickle chief to reaffirm his alliance to the British. Molly must have been a very intelligent woman to command the respect of both English and Native American leaders. -Allison Luthern | '''Both Taylor and Duffin’s report and Daniel Claus’s assessment indicate that the British viewed Molly Brant as a vital political connection''' as she represented British interests to Native Americans.

| − | + | I agree that the British viewed Molly Brant as a vital political connection. It's amazing that a woman was able to persuade and gain the respect of the British and Native American leaders. I also found it interesting that she had such a great influence in a time when most women were expected to be seen but not heard.--Katelyn Lease | |
