Detailed explanation-1: -Without the knowledge of Spanish officials, Father Hidalgo wrote a letter to the French gov-ernor in Louisiana, asking that the French estab-lish a mission among the Tejas. The French governor listened to Hidalgo’s proposal because it offered an opportunity to open trade. The French governor appointed Louis de St.
Detailed explanation-2: -While there, one of the Tejas chiefs asked Massanet to stay and instruct his people in this new faith; the Spaniards promised to return and establish a mission. The Spaniards returned in 1690 and established the mission San Francisco de los Tejas near present-day Weches in Henderson County.
Detailed explanation-3: -(flourished late 17th century). The first Spanish mission in East Texas was founded in 1690 by Damián Massanet, a Spanish priest of the Franciscan order of the Roman Catholic Church. He is also called Fray Massanet or Father Massanet. Massanet was born in Spain, probably in Majorca.
Detailed explanation-4: -The first would be to convert natives to Christianity. The second would be to pacify the areas for colonial purposes. A third objective was to acculturate the natives to Spanish cultural norms so that they could move from mission status to parish status as full members of the congregation.
