Which of the following is a similarity between chattel slavery and the rcomienda system
1 answer
One similarity between chattel slavery and the encomienda system is that both systems involved the forced labor of indigenous peoples. In chattel slavery, African slaves were forcibly taken from their homes and forced into labor for the benefit of their owners. In the encomienda system, indigenous peoples in the Americas were also forced to work for Spanish landowners in exchange for protection and Christianization. Both systems exploited and dehumanized those who were subjected to them, treating them as property rather than as individuals with rights.
