catholic religious beliefs, which serra was inspired to bring to the americas. one of the key tenants was that the evangelization of gentiles, people who are not christian, should be one's life devotion. in 1749 serra boarded a ship, arrived in veracruz, spain and from the 1730's and 40's spain was being transformed by an wightman ideology's. the motion of the might met -- enlightenment is that all men are created equal, but you know as well as i do that in reality when it came down to it, slavery was condoned. the indian wars were condoned under that. so things were not quite equal. so when we look at the missions throughout california, we had the military espousing this enlightenment ideology, while the missions were looking for communities that could be built and transformed it. the problem was while the enlightenment ideology seems like one that was noble, the reality was releasing native people from the missions so they could be exploited by outsiders was one of the defaults of that and father serra knew that and he fought to keep them out of contracts with other european settlers. so the franciscans, however, were tasked with evangelizing upper california
