Spanish And Mexican settlement: Colonizing California
Number of pages:
9
ABSTRACT:
9 pages in length. Both the Spanish and Mexican governments struggled to colonize and control California with the dual objective to establish a stable Hispanic society. The competitive nature of achieving such a goal brought with it a combination of factors that made it challenging at best for them to reach these objectives. Moreover, the social weaknesses they created here served to transform an entire culture of Native Americans into slave labor; those who survived the prevalence of foreign disease to which they had no natural immunities were slowly but surely forced to sell out their heritage in order to survive. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
