Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement "shunning and eventually isolating the Indians as the English would also eventually do" is incorrect because the Spanish did not isolate the Native Americans. In fact, they had frequent interactions with them through trade, intermarriage, and religious conversion. The Spanish also incorporated aspects of Indigenous Native American culture into their own, such as the adoption of agricultural practices and the use of certain foods and materials. The statement also implies that the English were the only ones to isolate Native Americans, which is not entirely accurate as other European powers also played a role in the colonization and displacement of Indigenous peoples.
