In the 17th and 18th centuries the encomienda existed alongside other forms of colonial exploitation, such as the mita and peonage. The encomienda was officially abolished by royal decrees issued between 1718 and 1791, but in the majority of Spanish colonies it was retained until the early 19th century.
The changes did not stop forced labor in the Spanish colonies on the mainland, which took on a new guise under the repartimiento. In addition, in the West Indies, the colonists needed a new source of labor and began to import African slaves, joining the transatlantic slave trade.he Spanish colonies in the Caribbean were among the last to abolish slavery. While the British colonies abolished slavery completely by 1834, Spain abolished slavery in Puerto Rico in 1873 and in Cuba in 1866. On the mainland of Central and South America, Spain ended African slavery in the eighteenth century.
