More than anything, the Spanish were seeking wealth.
Christopher Columbus himself thought that he had reached India: he wanted the wealth from the trade with Indians.
In the beginning, the Spanish hoped for Gold and Silver, later also for other products that could be made cheaper in the New World.
In short: the Spanish were not interested in Mexico but in what the ships could bring from Mexico (again, mostly gold).
Some, very few Spaniards, who settled in the New World were too unhappy in Europe and hoped for a better life.
The correct answer is C) Agriculture-based societies have a more reliable source of calories, but are more vulnerable to drought.
The other options of the question were A) Hunting societies are better at making war than agricultural societies; the former often conquered the latter in the Southwest and B) Illness spreads more quickly in sedentary farming communities than it does in nomadic societies.
Ancestral Pueblo people had a thriving agricultural society, as opposed to more nomadic societies. The big trade-off for prioritizing agriculture over hunting was that agriculture-based societies have a more reliable source of calories, but are more vulnerable to drought.
Pueblo people learned agriculture techniques that allowed them to settle in that region and stopped to be Nomads. When the land is fertile and there exist the appropriate climate conditions, agriculture changes people's lives. Nomad people had to follow the animal herds everywhere they roamed to hunt them and feed their families.

The person who had a greater impact on industrial development in the U.S., was <u>Samuel Slater</u> <em>(Who was born in England in June 9, 1768 and died in April 21, 1835)</em>, because He was a pioneer in the American Industrial Development that took the British textile technology and the machinery designs and brought them to the United States, and with that industrial system and the machines, he created the first textile factories of North america, and began a business in that industry with his sons. <u>And thanks to that, it was generated an increase and an enhance in the U.S. industrial development, which caused that U.S became in one of the most industrialized nation.</u> So for that reason, <u>Samuel Slater was known as the "Father of the American Factory System".</u>
But by other side, although Eli Whitney contributed to the U.S. Industrial Revolution with the invention of the cotton gin, however, he wasn't founded the pillars of the Industrial Development of the U.S., as Samuel Slater did it.
So, according to the previous, <u>the right answer is Samuel Slater.</u>
