Final answer:
The statement regarding women being incapable during wartime is false as they demonstrated resilience and adaptability, contributing significantly to the war effort. Additionally, the Conciliatory Proposition did not satisfy most demands of the American colonists, making that statement false as well. The statement is b) False.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that many women found themselves incapable of handling the burdens of war when their husbands and fathers went off to fight is false. While it's true that war placed enormous pressures on those at home, many women displayed incredible resilience and adaptability during wartime.
Women took on new roles in the workforce, managed households and farms, and contributed to the war effort in numerous ways, often shouldering both their traditional duties and the ones left by the men who went to fight.
They played a crucial part in keeping the economies going and in some cases, even worked in factories, producing materials necessary for the war. Therefore, the suggestion that they were largely incapable is not accurate.
As for the Conciliatory Proposition, this statement is false. The Conciliatory Proposition of 1775 offered by Britain was an attempt to ease tensions with the American colonies by promising not to tax them if they voluntarily contributed to the defense of the empire and the costs of civil government in their colonies.
However, it did not give in to most of the demands of the American colonists, as tensions were already too high and the offer was seen as too little, too late, leading eventually to the Declaration of Independence.
