A) True
B) False

Answer 1

Missions were indeed created by Spanish Friars to convert Native Americans into Christians and loyal subjects of Spain.

Step-by-step explanation:

True, missions were created in part for the Spanish Friars to convert Native Americans into Christians and loyal subjects of Spain. Roman Catholicism was a significant part of Spain's legacy in conquering the New World, and missionaries played a crucial role in teaching Christianity to the Native American populations. For example, Bartolome de las Casas, a Dominican friar, acknowledged the organized states and excellent religious customs of the natives before the arrival of the Spaniards.
