Which of the following conclusions about spanish imperialism in the america does the passage from history of the conquest of mexico support? (APEX)
In less than four years from the destruction of [Tenochtitlán], a new city had risen on its ruins. . . . Great alterations, however, took place in the fashion of the architecture. The streets were widened, many of the canals were filled up, and the edifices were constructed on a plan better accommodated to European taste and the wants of a European population. On the site of the temple of the Aztec war-god rose the stately cathedral dedicated to St. Francis; and, as if to complete the triumphs of the Cross, the foundations were laid with the broken images of the Aztec gods. . . .Cortés stimulated the settlement of his several colonies. . . . By a singular provision, he required every [European] settler, if a married man, to bring over his wife within eighteen months, on pain of forfeiting his estate. . . . Another law imposed the same penalty on all bachelors who did not provide themselves with wives within the same period.
— William H. Prescott, History of the Conquest of Mexico, 18731
