Once settled, the English and Spaniards went in two different directions regarding their religion. The Spanish conquistadors and friars of the southwest wanted to spread Christianity to everyone they could. The Spanish would conquer the Native American tribes and impose Christianity on them. For the Spanish in the Southwest they just wanted the Native Americans to have some kind of Christian beliefs. The Puritans, however, were very strict in following their values. For example, Anne Hutchinson and Roger Williams were both banished from the colony for going against their official teachings. Furthermore, being less tolerated, the Puritans were not as aggressive as imposing their religion on the Native Americans. Aside from the prayer towns, the Puritans did not impose their beliefs on the Native Americans who lived around them. The Spanish instead sought out Native Americans to convert them. The Spanish, after conquering a tribe or sacking a village, forced the Native Americans to convert. If they refused they would use the encomienda system to convert them. The encomienda system was a Spanish practice in which Native Americans who refused to convert to Christianity were enslaved. The conquistadors would force them to mine gold and silver until they died or converted. The way the Spanish and the Puritans handled their religion was reflected in the way the two interacted with the natives. The two differed in their treatment of Native Americans and the intimate relationships they had with them. In the Southwest many Spaniards would marry Native American women and have children called mestizos. In Massachusetts, however, any kind of intimate relationship between whites and Native Americans was unheard of.
