Spanish Missions Early Encounters between the
Christian and the "Noble Savage"
  • As the sixteenth century gave way to the
    seventeenth, the Spanish economy began to weaken,
    and so the monarchy put an end to the expensive,
    unproductive conquests of explorers like de Soto.
  • Outposts on the Atlantic Coast were established
    in order to protect Spanish shipping and claims
    on Florida from the French, English, and pirates.
  • In Georgia, Spanish Franciscan monks established
    missions in a region they called Guale (named
    after the dominant native people in the area).
  • Their goals centered on establishing control over
    the coastal Indians by converting them to
    Christianity, teaching them the Spanish language,
    and developing what amounted to a feudal system
    under which the Indians served as peasants.
