Question

the pueblo revolt
show transcript
lets review this oft - overlooked uprising. before we look at the revolt itself, its important to remember the situation in the 1600s in what is now the southwestern united states, specifically new mexico. the area was ruled by spain but mostly inhabited - and sparsely inhabited - by native americans. they were broadly and collectively referred to as pueblo indians because of the style of adobe structure in which many lived. while under spanish rule, the pueblo were expected to abandon their native and long - held religious beliefs and convert - sometimes forcibly - to christianity. there had been some resistance to this: in 1599, a rebellion had been crushed by conquistador juan de oñate in new mexico. though that stopped further rebellions for some time, the tensions created from that event grew steadily over time. in the mid - 17th century the pueblo staged small rebellions against spanish occupation of their land, but these were not well organized and were quickly quelled by the spanish. but in 1680 that would change. pueblo religious leader pope (pope - ay) from the taos pueblo was able to organize around 70 different native american communities to strike at spanish colonizers simultaneously. on august 10, thousands of native americans mobilized within minutes of each other in over 20 settlements across what is now northern new mexico. the revolt spread to the colonial capital of santa fe, which was burned in the process. by the time the revolt had ended, over 400 spanish had been killed and the survivors had fled far south to el paso. the uprising succeeded in restoring native american rule to the region for more than a decade, and just as importantly restored their native religious practices. when the spanish did retake the territory in 1692, they did not meddle in the religious practices of the native americans. in the end, the pueblo revolt of 1680 was the single most successful act of resistance by native americans against a european colonial force.

Explanation:

First Question:

The passage states the Pueblo Revolt was centered in what is now northern New Mexico. So the correct option is B.

The text says the Pueblo were expected to abandon native religious beliefs and convert to Christianity (sometimes forcibly), so discontent was about religious issues. Thus, B is correct.

The revolt succeeded in restoring Native American rule for over a decade, and when Spanish retook in 1692, they didn't meddle in religious practices. So it was successful for a number of years (over a decade). Option D matches.

Answer:

B. New Mexico
