•describe some of the features of the spanish empire in the americas.

We can identify 4 important features tied to the Spanish Empire in the Americas. Grants, exploitations, infrastructure and the catholic church.

Explanation:

Grants, because the system was based on the permissions that the crown licensed to conquistadors in return of a big piece of the treasure they found in the new land. Exploitations since the main activity of the Spanish empire was to subdue the Indigenous people to take advantage of their labor and get their wealth.

The infrastructure was similar in each town under the dominance of the Spanish crown, a cathedral was the chore of everything, which allowed them to have more control over the entire population.

Finally, we can find catholicism, supported by all the power that the Spanish empire had. Missioners were sent to the Americas to introduce the catholic religion to local people, which helped them to lay out their rules and have more control over the wealth of the region.
