History

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.

Positives and negatives about poll tax
Nastasia [14]
Positive : Payment of Poll tax was a prerequisite to the registration for voting in a number of states until 1965

Negatives: Poll tax affected poor Americans. After the right to vote was extended to all races (black people) a number of states enacted poll tax.. so basically they did that because they knew a lot of black people didn’t have money like that and didn’t want them to vote.
