<u>D: Spain founded Catholic "missions" to spread their influence in North America.</u>
<u>E) Diseases spread by the Spanish caused many American Indians to die.</u>
Explanation:
Hernando DeSoto was a celebrated Spanish explorer who worked under the Spanish crown to explore, plunder and conquer the new world. While he was not the first European to explore North America, he is widely reported as the first to reach the great Mississippi river.
He led his expeditions from modern-day Florida and moved upwards, exploring Alabama, Georgia and neighboring regions. This would rightly be described as the US Southeast today.
While he was not able to establish colonies here, he had a number of clashes with local tribes and more devastating were the diseases that his crew carried. Small pox and measles were unheard of in the new world and wherever they traveled, the diseases spread quickly.
Also, Spain used religion as a means to convert people and bring them under their sphere of influence.
The different viewpoints of Frederick Douglass and Captain Canot regarding slavery would be that Frederick Douglass wanted freedom for all slaves, but Captain Canot wanted slavery. Hope this helps. Have a nice day. Please feel free to ask more questions.

The correct answer is option B.
Edmond Halley correctly predicted the return of the eponymous comet Halley after he realized several sightings of a comet were in fact the same comet.
By correctly understanding Sir Isaac Newton's law of gravity and also his ideas in mathematics, Halley was able to correctly predict that the comet that now bears his name would return periodically. He did this by discovering Halley's orbit in 1716 and thus being able to predict the year of its return.
