Définition(s)

  • Missionary work in the Americas began soon after the arrival of the Spanish and became the foundation for one of the primary European conquest strategies. Some missionaries laid the groundwork for what became Manifest Destiny, establishing as part of their teachings the divine right of European settlers in the Americas to spread their civilization across North America and “raise up” Native Americans to the heights of that civilization.
