From the first years of Castilian presence in America, a series of legal or illegal mechanisms began to be developed to make use of indigenous labor. Christopher Columbus implanted in the Antilles the commission of personal services, which generated a series of relationships of personal servitude to the detriment of the indigenous and many of these were also subjected to slavery, either based on certain laws or simply in fact. However, the legislation issued after 1542 and the measures taken by the Crown to enforce it put an end to these phenomena and only imposed on the Indians the duty to pay tributes to the Crown or the encomenderos, without personally working for them. , in accordance with the provisions of the Mechelen law of 1545.

However, at the end of the 16th century a new modality of forced use of indigenous labor by the Spaniards was created, the repartimiento of Indians, which became the main and most lasting mechanism of domination of the Indians, the instrument by which they were definitively conquered and that guaranteed their subjection, their exploitation and their position of inferiority.
