Answer:

The question refers to Colombus' impressions of peoples and land. The answer is:

Colombus believed that it would be very easy to convince people to convert to Christianity. He also believed that the natives would be easily forced to serve the interests of the crown and claimed that the land had great economic potential and could be exploited.

Explanation:

Upon arriving in the American continent, Colombus was impressed by the size of the place and the number of natives that already occupied these lands. He saw great economic potential in the American territory for the Spanish crown and was quick to write about his discoveries.

He claimed that the territory was extensive, with a large number of trees, fruits and animals that could be exploited and generate great wealth for the Spanish crown. In addition, he predicted that this exploitation would have a small economic expense, since it would be possible to conquer and enslave the natives, forcing them to work towards Spanish objectives. He also said that these peoples would be easily converted to Christianity, calling for exploitation to be cursed.

What is the essential legacy of progressive political reform movement
Pie

Hey there, mate. Here is your answer. If if it doesn't help, let me know.

Answer: Progressivism was the reform movement that ran from the late 19th Century through the first decades of the 20th Century, during which leading intellectuals and social reformers in the United States sought to address the economic, political, and cultural questions that had risen in the context of the rapid changes brought with the Industrial Revolution and the growth of modern capitalism in America. The Progressives believed that these changes marked the end of the old order and required the creation of a new order appropriate for the new industrial age.
