Spanish missions in the Carolinas explained

The Spanish missions in the Carolinas were part of a series of religious outposts established by Spanish Catholics in order to spread the Christian doctrine among the local Native Americans. A few missions to native people living in the vicinity of the Spanish presidio at Santa Elena (on Parris Island) in South Carolina were established from 1566 to 1570, including:
