Detailed explanation-1: -Francisco Hidalgo, a Spanish priest of the Franciscan order of Roman Catholicism, was a missionary to the American Indians in what are now northern Mexico and East Texas.

Detailed explanation-2: -1. In response to a perceived threat from the French, the Spanish resettled in East Texas in the early 1700s. 2. The Spanish built several missions, a presidio, and the region’s first civil settlement near what is now San Antonio.
