One оf the primаry gоаls оf the Spаnish in Texas was to convert the Natives to Catholicism. During the late 1600s and early 1700s, the Spanish created a series of "missions"- sites on which the Spanish could Christianize and assimilate the Indian people while forcing them to grow crops and other manual labor tasks to sustain the mission.
