Answer:

Many groups of people benefited from the establishment of British colonies in the Americas.

Explanation:

The British Crown benefited because it obtained a new source of income, especially since it applied a mercantilist policy with the colonies, which allowed the metropolis to run trade surpluses with the colonies.

The founders of the colonies, and the subsequent elites of these benefited because they could obtain great wealth from what was essentially unexploited territory.

Finally, colonists/settlers themselves also benefited, by having a safe haven where to go if things in Britain where too hard for them. This is especially true since many of the British settlers in the Americas were either persecuted religious people, or poor peasants who had nothing to lose.

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer: d. San Antonio

Explanation:

The first San Antonio mission was established in 1718 and was meant to, along with other Missions in the area, convert natives and provide a buffer zone against the French in North America.

Consisting of a wall and fertile lands for growing crops, the mission served and protected the Coahuiltecan Native Americans and other smaller groups until 1793 when the mission closed. The missions established here provided the groundwork for the establishment of settlements in Texas.
