Spanish missionaries, or the priests who ran Spanish missions in the Americas, taught the Spanish language and the customs of Catholicism to the natives of the American continents. The missionaries provided education in the areas of language and reading as well as religion to the natives. They also claimed to provide spiritual guidance in the catholic fashion for the purpose of redeeming the souls of the natives. The missionaries spread important aspects of the Spanish culture, such as language and religion, into the native culture of the Americas.
Depends on which missionaries in what era.
American Spanish evolved when Spanish explorers and religious missionaries traveled to the Americas during the 15th and 16th centuries. This contact with indigenous languages and cultures influenced the Spanish language spoken in the region, leading to the development of distinct dialects of Spanish in Latin America.
