Please help me check my answer
I disagree
I disagree too.
Sooo... what's the answer
The answer is d. to convert, educate, and Europeanize natives.
Drag and drop description to the appropriate group - answer is Peninsulares held highest positions in both government and catholic church, Creoles owned ranches and mines. any others should not be necessary.
Why did sugar plantations produce such high profits - answer is c, Europe had a high demand for sugar, molasses, and rum.
Please excuse any grammar or word mistakes.
To check your answer, let's analyze the options:
A. to grow sugar cane and other valuable crops: This is not the main purpose of Spanish missions. While agriculture was often practiced at missions, it was not their primary objective.
B. to guard the property of colonists: This is also not the main purpose of Spanish missions. Guarding colonists' property would have been more closely associated with military or defensive structures.
C. to house the growing number of colonists from Spain: This may have been a secondary function of some Spanish missions, but it was not their primary purpose.
D. to convert, educate, and Europeanize natives: This is indeed the main purpose of Spanish missions. Missionaries from Spain aimed to convert Native Americans to Christianity, educate them according to Spanish cultural norms, and assimilate them into European society.
Therefore, option D is correct. Spanish missions primarily served to convert, educate, and Europeanize natives.
