Settling the Borderlands As conquistadors explored new territories, they claimed the areas for Spain. By 1600, the Spanish borderlands extended west from Florida across present-day Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California. The Spanish established colonies on the borderlands by building missions, presidios, and pueblos. Early in the 1500s, Spanish explorers reached Florida, but at first they did not build permanent settlements. Fearing that France might take over the area, Spain built a fort called St. Augustine in northern Florida.

Considering the available options, those that settled in the Spanish borderlands were the "soldiers and missionaries."

This is because the borderlands serve as the boundary and buffer for the Spanish colonies.

Therefore, the soldiers were settled there to serve as a defense or guide against any form of attacks from Natives or other European countries.

Also, the Missionaries settled there to convert the Native Americans around.

The borderlands of the Spanish colony include the following:

  • Florida;
  • The northern Gulf Coast;
  • Spanish Louisiana;
  • Texas;
  • New Mexico, etc.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the correct answer is option B. "soldiers and missionaries."
