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.
But in pushing for extended power in the colonies, they had overstepped their bounds with the Spanish king, who viewed this as an effort to take the Spanish Crown's power in the New World. Without warning in 1542, he issued the New Laws, which were calculated to destroy the encomienda system within a generation.
