The correct answer is D.

Both Spanish and English, as Christians, shared the aim of evangelizing the natives and also the aim of enriching themselves using the opportunities that new world discovered could offer, but through a different approach.

The English saw colonization as a manner of expanding existing enterprises and establish new profitable businesses overseas. An evidence is that the first English colony founded in 1607 in North American territory was Jamestown, in current Virginia. The founder was London Company, an English private enterprise, which also sent funding to the Plymouth colony founded in 1620. The English focused on exploiting the business opportunities in American land, although they also conducted trade.

On the other hand, the Spanish sought to enrich the Empire, by establishing a prosperous trading economy and there only some farming activities in a few Western regions.

How did the role of woman change during the 19th century?

hammer [34]

During the 1800s, the role of women began to change drastically. During the Industrial Revolution, women began to uphold jobs that previously only men could. Women workers were especially common in the textile industry where they were provided boarding. This was the start of the Lowell System, and many rural women moved to cities to participate in this system. Women were also living healthier and longer lives, due to a decreased mortality in childbirth, allowing them more freedom to do as they please.
