Answer:

D. Led to mistreatment if Native American workers

Explanation:

By a decree of the Spanish king in 1503, Indians, nominally considered free, were transferred to the guardianship of the conquerors, who were obliged to pay dues, to serve bondhold in mines and estates.

The owner of the encomienda (encomendero) was obliged to actively promote the conversion of the Indians to Christianity, their assimilation of a new "reasonal" lifestyle, i.e., similar to the way of life of the Spaniards themselves, and protect them in the event of a military threat. De jure, the encomienda was inalienable and did not give rights to either the land or the identity of the Indian. De facto encomendero had virtually unlimited power over his wards, which contributed to numerous abuses and brutal exploitation of the indigenous population.

Why did republicans nominate rutherford<br> b. hayes for the presidential election of 1876?
alekssr [168]
Republicans nominated Rutherford B. Hayes for the 1876's presidential election because Rutherford came from Ohio's important swing state. Upon Rutherford's acceptance of the said nomination, he wrote that if he would be elected, he would give the blessings of honesty and the capability of the local self-government to the South. This means that he will restrict any federal enforcement of unnecessary Reconstruction-era policies.
