nothing

actually it did do something, the encomienda was a system, natives farmed, ranched, or mined for spanish landlords. the landlords had received full rights to the natives' labor from Spanish authorities. The holders of encomiendas promised the Spanish rulers that they would act fairly andrespect the workers. However, many abused the natives and worked many laborers to death, especially inside dangerous mines.

However, by 1970, the many rebellions and the discontentment of the encomenderos were about to tear Spain's New World empire apart. If they hadn't abolished it, Spanish America would have reverted to a continent controlled by various warlords. Because they abolished it, they were able to hold onto their empire for much longer.
