When revolutionary Mexico secularized the government of California,

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the Mexican government secularized the government of California, they took control of the land from the Franciscans, who had previously owned much of it. This allowed the Californios (descendants of Spanish colonizers) to gain control of the land and led to conflicts with the previously established Native American populations. Slavery was not an accepted practice and convicts were not expelled as a result of secularization. Some native Californios may have turned to Protestantism, but this is not directly related to the secularization of the government.
