Encomienda System

Origins of the System Forced labor common in Western Europe Means of: providing a Spaniard a portion of land Restricted property rights over a certain # of Indians Became entrenched in South and Central America

Religion Spaniards used religion to justify system God’s will to indoctrinate natives Law of Burgos: any encomendero with more than fifty Natives had to educate one boy in writing and religious doctrine

Belief in Incompetence Savage, incompetent people Unable to live a Christian life and conduct money/trade Believed they needed to be clothed, educated, & taught about God Otherwise, would ruin New Spain’s economy

Responsibility of Encomenderos Ferdinand and Isabella: issued an order Forbade mistreatment of the natives Granted right to persuade (religion) Granted natives for 2-3 years at a time Encomenderos: Pay natives for their work Supply with living provisions

Source of Immediate Revenue Conquistadors ignored commands Wanted to own land without doing work Worked long hours for little pay Led to sharp decline in native population

Social Classes Viceroys: Peninsulares: head of a colony Appointed by king Peninsulares: born in Spain Only group that could become viceroys

Social Classes Continued Creoles: native-born descendants of Spaniards Mestizos: mixed Spanish and Native American heritage Native Americans: treated as minors under the law
