(1) Spain conquered and colonized much of
Latin America.
(2) Disputes over international boundaries
within Latin America were settled by the
pope.
(3) The traditional beliefs of Africans were
incorporated into the cultures of Latin
America.
(4) The Church provided Latin America with a
strong central government.
The correct answer is Option 1: Spain conquered and colonized much of
Latin America.
When the Americas were discovered, the Spanish were one of the first to colonize parts of South America and extend their Empire across the Ocean.
In a matter of few years, they were able to conquer large parts of the land, kill thousands of local and steal gold and other precious items.
In all this, the justification for colonization was always presented as a way to spread the message of God to the ''uncivilized barbarians''
Hence, once they economically and politically conquered a land, numerous missionaries were brought in to spread the message of the church.
Over hundreds of years, Christianity became the dominant religion in Latin America and today accounts for the largest Christian population anywhere in the world.
Catholicism's prevalence in Latin America is predominantly due to Spain's historical conquest and colonization (1), where they spread their religion. Other factors like the Church's role in providing a form of central authority during political instability and the syncretization of African traditional beliefs with Catholicism also contributed.
Catholicism is a major religion practiced in Latin America largely due to historical factors. The most significant of these is Spain's conquest and colonization of much of Latin America. During this time, Spain sought to spread Catholicism as part of its colonial policy. Therefore, Catholicism was introduced and deeply rooted in the majority of the Latin American countries.
Besides, the Church also provided a form of centralized authority during periods of political instability or weak governance, which allowed for the religion's spread.
However, option 2, the settlement of international boundaries within Latin America by the Pope, and option 3, the incorporation of African traditional beliefs into Latin American cultures, played a lesser role in why Catholicism is a prevalent religion in Latin America. The African traditional beliefs typically got syncretized with Catholic beliefs rather than replacing them.

The answer is A. The South required slaves to tend its fields.
The freedoms that African American patrons were granted through the Civil Rights Act of 1875 were equal treatment in public transportation, in public accomodations and service on juries.
This Civil Rights Act forbade racial discrimination in public places and facilities and made it illegal to deny such rights to any person on the grounds of his or her colour or race. However, in 1883, the Supreme Court declared some sections of this Act as inconstitutional, which caused its voidance.
