Explain the first duty of the missionaries

The first duty of the missionaries was to teach religion, make converts, and hold Mass on Sunday. They used images of Jesus, Mary and created churches. The Indians made the adobe bricks, became blacksmiths, carpenters and other craftsmen. In their eagerness to convert the Indians, missionaries were intolerant of local religious practices which caused centuries of discontent.

union blockade

explanation:

the union blockade in the american civil war was a naval strategy by the united states to prevent the confederacy from trading.

the blockade was proclaimed by president abraham lincoln in april 1861, and required the monitoring of 3,500 miles (5,600 km) of atlantic and gulf coastline, including 12 major ports, notably new orleans and mobile. those blockade runners fast enough to evade the union navy could only carry a small fraction of the supplies needed. they were operated largely by british citizens, making use of neutral ports such as havana, nassau and bermuda. the union commissioned around 500 ships, which destroyed or captured about 1,500 blockade runners over the course of the war.
