Question

When the Spanish decided to reoccupy Texas and establish more missions, what did they decide to include that they had not included in the past?​

Answer 1

The Spanish authorities decided in 1729 to abolish the presidio, Nuestra Señora de los Dolores de los Tejas, which protected the East Texas missions. The presidio near present-day Douglass was unnecessary, the government said, because of the peaceful demeanor of the Indians.
