The buying and selling of bonds began during the Renaissance. At first, Italian cities required their citizens to purchase bonds in order to pay for wars and hire soldiers to protect the city. Eventually, though, the bond market had great appeal to investors, who eagerly bought bonds even in times of peace. Why did bonds have such a great appeal to Renaissance investors? Investors liked buying bonds because they felt they were also supporting their city.

Bonds were less risky because they could be sold to another investor at any time.

The sale of bonds insured that taxes would not be raised on the wealthy.

Bonds were easier to understand than other types of investments.

the california missions began in the late 18th century as an effort to convert native americans to catholicism and expand european territory. there were 21 missions in all, lasting from 1769 until about 1833.   the missions were built by the spanish starting in 1769 in order to “colonize” the territory of alta california. so the missions were important because they were the means of settling california. it also wanted to keep other european countries out of alta california. building settlements along the coast would them meet these goals. missionaries wanted to convert the indians to the roman catholic faith. california indians did much of the work to build missions.
