Question

which aspect of english colonization in north america was most different from spanish colonization?
a. establishment of religious missions
b. implementation of forced labor systems
c. focus on creating permanent agricultural settlements
d. use of military force to subdue native populations

Explanation:

• Option a: Both English and Spanish colonizers established religious missions. The Spanish had Catholic missions, and the English (especially some groups like the Puritans) had their own religious - oriented settlements.
• Option b: Both used forms of forced labor. The Spanish had the encomienda system, and the English later had systems like indentured servitude (which could be very close to forced labor in some cases) and eventually slavery.
• Option c: The Spanish colonization in the Americas was more focused on extracting wealth (such as gold and silver) through mining and had large - scale ranches (haciendas). The English colonization, especially in the northern colonies, had a greater focus on creating permanent agricultural settlements like the New England farming communities and the plantation agriculture in the southern colonies.
• Option d: Both used military force to subdue native populations. The Spanish had military campaigns against native empires like the Aztecs and Incas, and the English had numerous conflicts with native tribes.

Answer:

c. Focus on creating permanent agricultural settlements
