| dc.description.abstract | It has been documented that Spanish missions in east Texas did poorly compared to the missions in the San Antoinio area. What has not been documented is the cause of this difference. This paper uses a comparative study method to discuss the differences between the two areas of Texas and to discover the causes of the apparent failure of the missions in east Texas. To do this, the geographical differences between the two areas in Texas are discussed. Also, the Spanish soldiers and missionaries, along with their French antagonists are shown to have played a role in east Texas mission failure. Finally, it is shown how the differences in the cultures of the Indians of the two areas was the main factor in causing the downfall of the missions in east Texas while creating success in the San Antonio area. | en |
