Compare Spanish experiences in their frontier outposts of Florida and New Mexico in the late 1600s and early 1700s
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Spain's outposts in Florida and New Mexico fell into disarray between 1680 and the early 1700s. They used small numbers of settlers in both, relying on forced Indian labor. This was their undoing. The Pueblos, led by medicine man Pope, revolted against the Spanish, particularly when their native religious ceremonies were threatened. While the Spanish won, they declared a cultural truce. In Florida, the Spanish and their Indian missions were threatened by the English and their Indian allies. While the Spanish held onto St. Augustine, they were not able to drive out the English and French. The latter would have the main influence over Florida Indians.
