communal slavery

Explanation:

The endomienda system was a system applied by the Spanish Crown in its new territories in the Americas. Through this system, certain individuals that had some accomplishments were given large amounts of land in the Americas. Apart from being granted land, they were also granted a certain group of people to work for them. The people that were granted to them had to work on their lands, and they also had to pay tribute to the owners. Even though this was not a formal way of slavery, it still can be considered a form of slavery, as the people were stripped of most of their rights, and they were in a possession of the owners of the lands, thus creating a communal slavery type.
