What replaced the major Native American tribal settlements along a road that came to be known as "El Camino Real," the King's Highway?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The major Native American tribal settlements along El Camino Real, the King's Highway, were replaced by missions established by Spanish friars in the 18th century. These missions were intended to convert Native Americans to Christianity and assimilate them into Spanish colonial society. Presidios were also established along El Camino Real to protect the missions and settlers from potential attacks by Native Americans or other European powers, but they did not replace the Native American settlements. Small white castles dedicated to European monarchs were not established along El Camino Real. Tribal governments would have continued to exist in some form but were likely diminished in power and influence by the establishment of the missions and Spanish colonial rule.
