Spanish Exploration in South Carolina
ExplorationSpain's motives for exploration were...~God, Glory, and Gold~They wanted to find a route to Asia and the West Indies.~The Spanish wanted to fin the Northwest passage for spices, silk, and money.~They wanted to claim new land for their empire.~Spain was really in search of mineral wealth or Gold, El Porado, and the City of Gold.~The Spainish also wanted to spread Christianity.
The Spanish were the first to explore coastal regions of South Carolina. Juan Pardo was the first Spanish explorer to explore South Carolina in the 1560's. None of the 13 Colonies were Spanish. Spanish did have an influence on the culture of today, by bringing horses to the United States and other needed resources to the colonies.
