The cut [edit]. Although American butchers may label a cut of meat London broil, the term does not refer to a specific cut of meat but to a method of preparation and cookery. Butchers may label top round steak or roast as London broil.
The Encomienda system is a system of tributary labor established in Spanish America. It was developed as a means of securing an adequate and cheap labor supply. The Encomienda was first used in the Moors of Spain and later was taken to the New World.
The Spanish created a hierarchical society in which they occupied the top stratum in terms of prestige, wealth, and power; slaves and Indians occupied the bottom. White skin became synonymous with being Spanish and therefore of high status.
