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.

Answer:

8. white league: Although sometimes linked to the secret vigilante groups of the Ku Klux Klan, as well as Knights of the White Camelia, the White League and other paramilitary groups of the later 1870s displayed significant differences. They operated openly, solicited coverage from newspapers, and the men's identities were generally known. The Red Shirts were a similar group, which was started in Mississippi in 1875 and active in South Carolina. They had a specific political goal: to overthrow the Reconstruction government. They directed their activities toward intimidation and removal of Northern and black Republican candidates and officeholders. Made up of well-armed Confederate veterans, they worked to turn Republicans out of office, disrupt their political organizations, and use force to intimidate and terrorize freedmen to keep them from the polls. Backers helped finance purchases of up-to-date arms, including Winchester rifles, Colt revolvers, and Prussian needle guns.

KKK:Six well-educated Confederate veterans from Pulaski, Tennessee, created the original Ku Klux Klan on December 24, 1865, during Reconstruction of the South after the Civil War. The Ku Klux Klan was one among a number of secret, oath-bound organizations using violence as a political weapon, including the Southern Cross, in New Orleans (1865), and the Knights of the White Camelia (1867), in Louisiana. Historians generally see the KKK as part of the post-Civil-War insurgent violence related not only to the high number of veterans in the population, but also to their effort to control the dramatically changed social situation by using extrajudicial means to restore white supremacy. In 1866, Mississippi Governor William L. Sharkey reported that disorder, lack of control, and lawlessness were widespread; in some states armed bands of Confederate soldiers roamed at will. The Klan used public violence against blacks as a method of intimidation. They burned houses and attacked and killed blacks, leaving their bodies on the roads.In an 1867 meeting in Nashville, Tennessee, Klan members gathered to try to create an hierarchical organization with local chapters reporting up the line of command to a national headquarters. Since most of the Klan's members were veterans, they were used to the hierarchical structure of the organization; however, the Klan never operated under this centralized structure. Local chapters and bands were highly independent. In an 1868 newspaper interview, Forrest stated that the Klan's primary opposition was to the Loyal Leagues, Republican state governments, people like Tennessee governor Brownlow, and other "carpetbaggers and scalawags." He argued that many southerners believed that blacks were voting for the Republican Party because they were being hoodwinked by the Loyal Leagues.
