Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer to the question: Missionaries in the colonized areas were responsible for all of the following, except:_____, would be, D. Building roadways.

Explanation:

The main task of missionaries in the newly colonized lands by Europeans, was to extend the reach of the Christian religion into the tribes of Natives in the Americas. As such, and as part of that mission, they opened up schools in order to teach Natives both the Christian faith and the European languages, and they were also responsible for the opening up of hospitals as part of their charitable mission. But one thing that they did not do, was build roadways. That was part of the task of governors, and civil authorities, who used slaves, both Indian and later on Africans, to build them.
