Detailed explanation-1: -Missions received less aid from the Spanish government and few Spanish were willing to become mission priests. In increasing numbers Indians deserted and mission buildings fell into disrepair. Mexican independence led to the final demise of California’s mission system.
Detailed explanation-2: -Native American disinterest and disease were two factors in the failure of many missions.
Detailed explanation-3: -How did the mission system affect the ways of life of California Indians? Mission Indians could no longer practice their own beliefs, lost freedom, and began to farm more than hut their food.

Many were converted; many died of European diseases to which they had no immunity; and many became dependent upon the missions for subsistence and shelter.
