Question

Which of the following was NOT one of the three major Spanish settlements that remained in Texas by the late 1790s?

A. La Bahia.
B. Nacogdoches.
C. Natchitoches.
D. San Antonio.

Answer 1

C. Natchitoches was not one of the major Spanish settlements in Texas by the late 1790s; it was in the territory that became part of the United States after the Louisiana Purchase.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Spanish settlement that was NOT one of the three major settlements in Texas by the late 1790s is C. Natchitoches. The three major settlements that remained were La Bahia, Nacogdoches, and San Antonio.

Natchitoches, while founded by the French and later under Spanish rule for a period, was actually in the territory that would become part of the United States following the Louisiana Purchase, and thus it was not one of the lasting Spanish settlements within Texas.
