To reward settlers for their service to the Crown, Spain established the encomienda (en-koh-mee-EN-duh) system. It gave settlers the right to tax local Native Americans or to make them work. In exchange, these settlers were supposed to protect local American Indians and convert them to Christianity. In other words, the Spainards enslaved the local populations and forced them into Catholic beliefs. Spanish missions were setup throughout present day areas of Mexico, California, and Texas.
