The system used by the Spanish crown to grant land and labor to Spanish settlers in the Americas was known as the encomienda system. Under this system, Spanish settlers were given land and granted control over the indigenous population living on that land, in exchange for their loyalty and the obligation to protect and Christianize the native inhabitants.
The encomienda system was introduced by the Spanish n the 1500s as a way to rule conquered peoples. Lords would receive labor and tribute. In exchange, the natives would get protection and education. An abused system, it resulted in virtual slavery for indigenous peoples.
African slavery replaced Native American slavery in the encomienda system primarily due to the devastating impact of diseases brought by Europeans on the native populations, making them less able to withstand forced labor. Additionally, African slaves were less likely to escape due to their unfamiliarity with the landscape and were seen as more profitable due to being perceived as being physically stronger.
The encomienda was a dependency relation system.
