How did life in the Spanish northern frontier develop differently from life in the main part of Mexico?
What will be an ideal response?
Students should note the absence of either large agricultural centers or mines. This limited the ability of following the Spanish pattern of turning authority over to a ruling cabildo. Students should note the existence of Santa Fe. Stronger students will connect it to the remaining Spanish institutions: the Church and the bureaucracy. Santa Fe developed a far more cosmopolitan environment with regular contacts among autonomous Plains Indians and eventually French and Anglo-American traders.
