Seoul ARIZATION

Secularization, or the changing of
the missions into pueblos under civil
government, was a sad and distress
ing period in California history.
Though the mission system was not
entirely successful, the Indians were
far too unintelligent, lazy and brut
ish, to form landed citizens of a
pueblo as was planned. Seculariza-
ton was first contemplated in 1873,
and from then until the law Of Aug
ust Il, 1898, and the final rules and
regulations of Aug. 9.11834, the pad
res lived and worked in terror Of
losing their missions. When actual
secularizatio. took place in 1894,
the friars conducted wholesale
slaughter of mission cattle and prop
erty, and the Indians began a de-
generation which eventually result
cd in vagabondage, drinking, steal
ing, and for some, barbarism.
