Question

What was the goal of Spanish missionaries in the New World?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. To teach the natives about Christianity

Explanation:

The goal of Spanish missionaries was to convert Native Americans to Christianity. This had both a religious and economic rationale.

The religious rationale is that it was believed that all people in the world should be baptized in the Christian religion.

The economic rationale was that if Natives were taught Christianity and Spanish, they would be more easy for the Spanish to communicate with.
