U1.6 Spanish Colonization and Labor Systems

Explain how Spanish colonial labor systems (encomienda and repartimiento) and the developing casta social hierarchy shaped colonial society, and how internal Spanish debate over the treatment of Native Americans (culminating in the Valladolid debate, 1550–51) produced limited reform rather than the end of forced Indigenous labor.
