Explanation:

I don't know for sure :)

The encomienda system that the Spanish practiced in the colonies was a slavery system that did not allow the enslaved to be sold off the land.

The Encomienda system:

  • Involved granting lands to Spanish conquerors
  • The native inhabitants of those lands would have to work for the Spanish conqueror in question as quasi-enslaved people
  • The Natives would be provided with some sort of benefits

The system ensured that the people who became enslaved would have to work on their own land which meant that they would not be sold off the land by the conqueror they worked for.

In conclusion, the encomienda system ensured that enslaved people stayed on their land.
