Bartolomé de las Casas was an advocate for indigenous rights and strongly opposed the encomienda system as it exploited and abused indigenous populations. He believed in reforming the system by replacing it with a system that protected indigenous communities and granted them autonomy. De las Casas proposed the idea of using free labor instead of forced labor to ensure fair treatment of indigenous peoples.
The priest Bartolome de Las Casas traveled through New Spain working for reform. Largely due to Las Casa's efforts, the government of Spain ordered reform of the encomienda system in the mid-1500s.
The encomienda system was reformed by the Spanish Crown in response to widespread abuses against indigenous peoples in the Americas. The Laws of the Indies passed in the 16th century aimed to limit the power of encomenderos and protect native populations.
Bartolomé de las Casas strongly opposed the encomienda system (as it was called) and later came to oppose all forms of slavery, also of non-Indians.
