The plantations they set up in Latin America needed greater labor supplies therefore Native Americans were forced to work on it until they were affected by disease. Slaves from Africa who were immune to disease were imported to Latin America. They began mining for silver and gold which was so magnificent that Europe’s final silver came to an end. They led to a new exchange of culture and their main religion was Catholicism. The Encomienda System was their social structure which spread both to the Latin America and Natives. Its royal government remained to exact indian labor as a form of taxation(mita). Indians seek out an employment
