C. observe enemy positions
Answer:
One ironic outcome of the immense wealth Spain acquired - and ultimately squandered - with the colonization of the New World was to make rich others. Great wealth allowed the Spanish kings to fight wars in Europe: against France, in the Netherlands, in Italy and against the Turks in the Mediterranean. But on the other hand, large amounts of those riches - gold, silver - ended in the pockets of the European bankers who had given credits to the Spanish kingdom. Because it lost some wars, Spain had to pay indemnizations and reparations to victors, too. At the same time, much of the treasuries belonging to Spain were stolen by British pirates who attacked and robbed the huge fleets of <em>galeones</em> transporting gold to the Spanish ports. As a Latin American historian once wrote, "Spain had the cow, but others drank the milk."

The economic, social and political causes of the Civil War were:
- Racism. The social cause for the Civil War was mostly racism, the people in the South wanted to keep their slaves because they were workers that they didn't have to pay for their farm, and they were using them for labor. The North wanted to abolish slavery, but the South didn't want them to.
- Tariffs. In the North, people could afford high tariffs because they were working in factories, and industrialization was very common over there. But, the people in the South could not afford to pay the high tariffs, and felt betrayed by the North. They were going into debt and couldn't afford to keep their farms and plantations.
- The political reason for the Civil War was the President, Abraham Lincoln. He had been elected that year was loved by the North, but not the South. The North loved him because he wanted to abolish slavery, raise tariffs, and he promoted the industrialization of the South, and didn't want slavery to be carried on to the West. The South didn't like that, so they caused a war.
