Detailed explanation-1: -The La Salle expedition had far-reaching results. First, it shifted Spanish explorers’ interests from western Texas to eastern Texas. There was a renewal of Spanish exploration of the northern Gulf shore. It also inspired the French to claim Texas, causing the Spanish to move in Texas as a reaction to a French threat.
Detailed explanation-2: -La Salle’s activities had far-reaching consequences for the future of Texas. Spain increased its own exploration of the Texas coast and advanced the timetable for its own occupation in order to stave off French claims.
Detailed explanation-3: -How did Spain react to the LaSalle expedition? It built more missions in East Texas to protect Spanish lands from the French. It shifted its interest from Texas to Florida because France was no longer interested in colonizing Florida.
Detailed explanation-4: -The voyage seemed plagued by bad luck from the beginning. Pirates stole one of La Salle’s four ships as the expedition drew close to North America. Whether by miscalculation or poor navigation, La Salle missed the Mississippi entirely and ended up along the Texas coast. The second ship sank entering Matagorda Bay.
