Question

What was most likely the primary goal of missionaries who moved to the Pacific Northwest?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B) To bring religion and education to the early settlers

Explanation:

Early settlers were mostly single men of young age who were looking to explore a new land and make riches. This was eventually followed by many of them bringing their families.

As part of manifest destiny, many American believed they should spread their Christian faith and convert the native people.

However, in the early times of the settlers of Pacific Northwest, many were too occupied trying to make their own villages and towns and earning a living.

In order to preach the word of Gospel and keep the Christian faith alive in the new World, missionaries from Europe came to the new lands. They set up Churches, their own masses and eventually developed a strong community around religious functions.
