Detailed explanation-1: -The Pueblo people, Native Americans living in what is now New Mexico, rose up against Spanish conquistadores in the wake of religious persecution, violence, and drought. The uprising aimed to reclaim Pueblo religious practices, culture, and land, which had been stripped away by Spanish conquistadores.
Detailed explanation-2: -Historians differ on the main cause for the revolt of the Pueblo peoples in 1680. Many believe the cause for the revolt was religious, while others speculate that the essential causes of the revolt were the immediate events of the time-drought, famine and the Apache raids of the 1670s.
Detailed explanation-3: -In 1680, a group of Pueblo Indians in modern day New Mexico, led by Pope, a Pueblo religious leader, revolted against Spain driving the Spanish from the colony of Santa Fe de Nuevo Mexico. Pope and his followers revolted because of Spanish attempts to ban Indian religious ceremonies.
Detailed explanation-4: -The rebels allowed many Spaniards to flee, but twenty-one Franciscan priests died at their hands, and they sacked mission churches across their land. It took twelve years for Spanish troops to reconquer Pueblo country. They never did conquer the Hopi, who had been the westernmost contributors to the rebellion.
