The mission system did no favors for the Native Americans. It made them into slaves that were treated horribly by the church. Historians are finding mass graves today on mission grounds. As with many things like the missions they couldn't eat, worship, or dress according to their native cultures.

I assume you are asking about the mission system. All the 21 missions had Native Americans working and living on mission grounds. When the converted they weren't allowed to leave the mission and life for them was not good. They were often beaten, killed, and the women raped by the soldiers guarding the mission. Historians have found mass graves at the missions of Native Americans.
It affected the Americans because ranch life was a large responsibility. Americans saw all the hard work that farmers put in and realized that they should work just as hard to.
