Content: Despite disagreements between church and state, Mexico City dispatched more priests. Official Spanish policies and protocols remained unchanged, with the puebloans caught in the middle. Their labor and resources were at the crux of the contention, the spoils. Franciscan priests destroyed sacred artifacts and banned traditional religious practices. The Spanish authorities and Church demanded exorbitant tributes. Frustration boiled over in 1680, with Po’Pay of San Juan (Ohkay Owingeh) uniting the pueblos in revolt against the Spanish. Though Puebloan warriors destroyed most of New Mexico’s missions during the pueblo revolt, the ruins of several have been preserved as part of State and National Monuments or Parks. Many of the missions that survived the revolt have been rebuilt or restored, providing some of the best examples of Spanish colonial architecture in North America. Most of the missions in New Mexico were rebuilt before the first mission was completed in San Diego. Early Spanish Colonial Architecture
