TrueFalse

Answer 1

False. The missions built by Spanish conquerors did have negative consequences for Native Californians, but most were not destroyed.

Step-by-step explanation:

False. The statement that most of the Native Californians were destroyed by overwork, disease, and brutality is incorrect. While it is true that the Spanish conquerors built 22 missions from San Diego to Sonoma, and that there were negative consequences for the Native Californians, they were not all destroyed. The missions did lead to significant changes in the lives of the indigenous people, including the introduction of Christianity, forced labor, and disease, but many Native Californians survived and continue to live in the state today.
