Explanation:

Missionaries in the Americas aimed to spread their religion, converting Indigenous peoples and often sought to integrate them into European - style colonial societies. They were not just about eradicating cultures (though there were negative impacts on Indigenous cultures), not focused on social and economic welfare primarily, and did not use military force themselves (military conquest was more the work of colonizers).

Answer:

Missionaries wanted to convert Indigenous peoples and integrate them into European colonial culture.
