Detailed explanation-1: -The Natives came to believe that the Spanish “had not their Mission from Heaven” because the Spanish so cruelly treated the Indians. The Indians saw them as evil.
Detailed explanation-2: -They were put to work tending mission farms, livestock, and facilities and discouraged-in some cases prohibited-from leaving their home mission. 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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The new site was also closer to a source of fresh water and better land. The Native Americans and the priests at the mission grew corn, beans, grains, and other vegetables. They also raised some livestock and built the mission’s buildings.
Detailed explanation-4: -The missions created new communities where the Native Americans received religious education and instruction. The Spanish established pueblos (towns) and presidios (forts) for protection. The natives lived in the missions until their religious training was complete.
