Assuming that you are referring to the territories of today's Mexico, formerly know as <em>New Spain</em>, here is the paragraph:
As Hernan Cortes campaigned throughout the first continental lands of America, the idea that many Spaniards, probably even himself, harbored was that of founding Spain all over again in the newly found and conquered lands. A mix of nostalgia and pride for the Motherland, Spain, must have prompted the <em>Conquistadors</em> to name the cities and provinces they founded after cities and provinces already existing in Spain. One reason for using already familiar names had to do with the difficulty of pronouncing the original names of the places given by the native people, the other one had to do with a sense of control, since most people hold the belief that naming things bestows them with a degree of control over them. And yet another reason may have been the comfort of living in places named after their old home towns and provinces the Spaniards had come from.
What these people have in common is that they were all concerned with religious liberty. George Calvert was an Englishman who arrived to what is now modern day Canada (Newfoundland) and the United States (Maryland) in hopes of establishing a colony where Catholicism would prosper as it could not in his native land. Roger Williams was a Protestant theologian who was a proponent of religious liberty and of the separation of church and state. William Penn was also a proponent of religious freedom. Anne Hutchinson viewed Puritanism (a branch of Protestantism) in a more open view than her conservative counterparts.
Answer:
It could carry more weight
Explanation:
The horse made a much better work animal than the dog because it could carry more weight than a dog. just by the fact it's so much bigger, so much stronger. It's strength was definitely the major reason why it was preferred to the dog, but the horse also adapts easily to its environment. Even if a horse eats more than a dog, because of its size, the benefits of using it for work are much bigger.
It's also much more calm and docile than most dogs, although some dog races are quite good at training and being used as assistance animal for the handicapped or blind people.
