Final answer:

The claim about governments and virgins cannot be addressed. It is false that women could not handle war burdens; true that Revolutionary Era constitutions did not grant women voting rights; true regarding the slaughter of natives with superior European weaponry; true that women were not legal persons before the 19th Amendment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Government Capturing Virgins: The statement regarding the government not capturing virgins because they were not allowed to kill them lacks context and historical details to be addressed factually. Without specific information about a time period, culture, or legal system, it is impossible to provide a definitive answer.

Women and the Burdens of War: It is false to universally claim that many women found themselves incapable of handling the burdens of war. Countless women across various conflicts in history have taken on significant roles when their male relatives went to fight, managing households, businesses, and even participating in war efforts.

Voting Rights in the Revolutionary Era: The statement that no state constitution in the Revolutionary Era allowed women the right to vote is true. Voting rights for women were not established until the 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920 in the United States.

Majority of Natives Killed: It is true that the majority of natives killed in the exploration period were slaughtered by Europeans who had superior weaponry, leading to devastating impacts on native populations.

Women's Legal Personhood Prior to 19th Amendment: It is true that prior to the 19th Amendment, women were generally not considered legal persons on their own, lacking many rights that were afforded to men.
