Answer:
After the discovery of America by Cristobal Colon in 1492, the Spanish Empire began to colonize the territory, establishing settlements in different regions of North, Central and South America. Thus, in North America it expanded through the current territories of Florida and the Southwest of the United States, from California to Texas.
In all its colonies, the natives were exploited by the Spanish through the encomienda system, by which the Spanish established settlements and work areas, in which they exploited natural resources through free native labor, which were paid with "education" and "Catholic evangelization", in many cases dealing with disguised slavery.
This is false because it’s false trust me!
