By 1800 several visitors to the Missions — French and English visitors for the most part influenced by the “Black Legend” — criticized these outposts of colonization and cast the Spanish as tyrants who abused the native peoples and enslaved them.
By 1870 and beyond, however — even to the present — the Spanish Mission period was re-purposed as a Golden Age of Peace and Prosperity.

For this Discussion topic, please answer the following questions:
1)-According to Rawls, how and when in the 19th century did this image reversal of the missions happen?
2)-Why did it occur? Be specific and use, as always, historical names and dates to substantiate your claims.
3)-How can an institution — in this case the Missions — be both a bastion of civilization and an engine of oppression and slavery? Or were they either?
4)-What more recent re-purposing (or re-interpretation) of history is similar to the one that Rawls describes? List at least one example and discuss it so others see the connection you are making.
