Answer: To covert the Natives

Explanation:

The influence of the Catholic church in the Americas today is quite evident as it is considered the single largest religious organization in the North and South Americas.

This is as a result of the Catholic church sending Priests and Nuns to settle in various parts of the Americas.The purpose of this was to bring the Catholic message closer to the people as the Catholics sent were to live with the people and learn their language and culture as there were so many languages in the area. They were to teach them agriculture and help them medically whilst preaching the gospel.

What emerged was the conversion of millions of natives to Christianity such that a person's life could be controlled by the church from birth to death making the Catholic church almost as powerful as the colonial powers themselves.

Which of the following would an immigrant to a former imperializing nation be least likely to cite as the motivating factor for
kumpel [21]

The correct answer is "High cost of living".

It simply makes no sense that a person would choose to migrate towards a country where the cost of living is high. Usually the motivation to relocate is precisely the opposite: the living conditions, employment opportunities and wages don't match the cost of living in a certain region and that prompts migration.
