What effects did the encomienda system have on the newly independent countries of latin america?

Encomienda is a Spanish word meaning "commission." It was a theory or you can say a system that was used by Spanish people. We are talking about the time when the new world which is United States of America today was once a group of colonies made by England and European countries. In Spain it was a very famous custom that whoever will conquer the land acquired by Spain in the new world will be awarded with a colony there. Most of the Spaniards went there and made their colonies and this entire thing proved disastrous to the native population. They miss-treated the native population and brought along them different European diseases which had no immunity at that time and because of which most of the native people died. Thus, we can say that one of the very major effect of this system in Latin America was that it exploited the indigenous people in Latin America.
