why did spanish officials decide to build forts and missions on new spain's northern frontier during the eighteenth century?

Respuesta :

The New Spain made an effort to construct forts and missions in the northern boundary during the 18th century to impede the Russian access to modern-day California.

Spanish missions were established particularly with the goal of converting non-Christians to Christianity and educating them in the Catholic faith. However, incorporating Indians into Florida's colonial system's political and economic framework was made possible in large part by the mission system. Missions were often established close to the villages where the chiefs resided and the council buildings, which served as the local chiefdoms' political center.

More structures than each mission could be found in a much bigger Indian village. A church (where Mass was celebrated and Indian converts were laid to rest) and a convent, or friary, where a lone friar lived by himself, made up the typical mission.
