Unit 1 – Interactions North America, 1491–1607
Topic 1.5
What role did religion play in justifying labor exploitation during the Spanish colonization of America?
Catholic Church doctrine was interpreted in ways that allowed forced conversion of natives into Christianity and their subsequent servitude.
Religion played no role in colonization activities; it was purely economic factors at work.
All religious practices were banned by colonizers to ensure total control over native populations.
Native American religions were promoted alongside Christianity without any coercion or force used for conversions.
