Detailed explanation-1: -What issue affected the location of the early presidios? Disagreement between the friars and the soldiers about how to treat the Native Americans.
Detailed explanation-2: -Malaria became a problem for people at presidio La Bahía at Goliad. Shortages of food, supplies and clothing were also prevalent.
