Explanation:

The discovery of America in 1492 brought people from Europe to establish their colonies in the New World. When the European arrived in America, they found the place already inhabited by the Natives. The Natives Indians had their languages, customs, religions, and practices, which according to the Europeans, considered heathens and pagan. Spanish, along with other Europeans, like Britain and Portugal converted the Native into catholic or protestant with no tolerant attitude toward traditional religious and tried to suppress them.
