Bartolome de las Casas initially suggested replacing the encomienda system with an alternative labor system that did not involve forced Indigenous labor. He advocated for the use of African slaves as a way to alleviate the burden on the Indigenous populations in the Spanish colonies.
The encomienda system provided Spanish colonists with control over indigenous peoples' labor and resources in exchange for Christianizing and protecting them. It allowed for the exploitation and abuse of indigenous populations in the Spanish colonies.
First of all encomienda means slavery it was created by the spaniards. The amerindians were put into encomienda because the spanish civilization thought that could take advantage of the amerinidans since they were found on an island hiding !

The encomienda system was reformed by the Spanish Crown in response to widespread abuses against indigenous peoples in the Americas. The Laws of the Indies passed in the 16th century aimed to limit the power of encomenderos and protect native populations.
The encomienda system in Latin America led to the exploitation and mistreatment of Indigenous people by Spanish colonizers, resulting in forced labor, disease, and high mortality rates among Indigenous populations. This system contributed to the decline of Indigenous societies in the region.
De las Casas strongly advocated for the abolition of the encomienda system, viewing it as oppressive and exploitative towards indigenous peoples. He believed that the encomienda system violated the rights and humanity of the indigenous population, and argued for their protection and fair treatment. De las Casas called for the implementation of policies that would protect indigenous rights and ensure their fair treatment and labor conditions.
