It would be 48.2. I did the math but don't know how to explain it.
Many Native Americans converted to Christianity because they thought this was the only way to save themselves from dying from the Europeans' diseases. They also lost their religion. The 'encomienda' system (legalized slavery) also negatorily affected their simple way of life.
<span>Many Native American populations were utterly destroyed by the Europeans' previously unknown diseases long before they ever actually laid eyes on them. Smallpox, chicken pox and the measles were unkown in North America before the Europeans' arrival. </span>
<span>Thanks to the "Mission System' employed by the Spanish </span>Conquistadores<span>, many Native American religious practices, customs, and uiltimately, languages were lost forever.

The demographic factors which are likely to affect each speaker's opinion are as follows:
1. <u>Region</u> = The Texas Rancher who does not want illegal immigrants crossing his land is affected by his region because Texas is a border state.
2. <u>Race/Ethnicity</u> = The Latina mother in LA, who wants Bilingual education for the school children, is interested in ensuring that her children do not lose out from her racial culture.
3. <u>Religion and Family</u> = The Catholic man, who proposes tax breaks for church schools, is religious, perhaps with a sizable family like many Catholic families.
4. <u>Marital Status/Family/Gender</u> = The gay man in NYC who wants the <em>right to adopt children</em> is concerned that he could not exercise the right to have children because of his gender. He is interested in having a family of his own, despite his marital status not being defended by law.
5. <u>Race/Ethnicity</u> = The African American woman in Georgia who wants more minorities to be employed addresses racial discrimination in the workplace.
Thus, each speaker has their different concerns in forming an opinion on the <em>issues of family, religion, gender, marital status, race/ethnicity, and immigration.</em>
