Spanish Settlements
• Spain began encouraging people to settle in New Spain. Jews, Muslims, and non-Christians were forbidden.
• Spain ruled through a system of royal officials. The Council of the Indies was formed in 1524. They then appointed to viceroys, or royal governors.
• Types of settlements: pueblos (trading posts or centers of government), missions were started by priests in order to convert natives to Christianity, and presidios were military bases.
