In this video Heimler explains how the Spanish created new labor systems in the Americas.
The Spanish encomienda system (made legal by the requerimiento) created a system of coerced labor in which leading men, or encomenderos, were granted a portion of land in the Americas on which to farm and mine. In order to do said farming and mining, Native Americans located on that land were forced to take up the labor.
But because the natives kept dying from disease and escaping, the Spanish introduced African slavery to the Americas.
Additionally, the Spanish completely reordered American society by introducing a caste system (or Casta System) to their colonial holdings. A person's position in the system was based on his or her racial ancestry.
If you have any questions, leave them below and Heimler shall answer forthwithly.
