Why did African slavery and plantation agriculture not dominate colonial Mexico the way that it ruled nearby regions of Cuba, Brazil, and the American South?
From what I understand, the economy of Mexico from the 16th to 19th centuries was mostly a system of isolated tenant farming not too different from what existed in Europe at this time. The tributary encomienda system seems quite similar to the stereotype of medieval feudalism.
So why did chattel slavery not come to Mexico in any great extent? This system was clearly incredibly profitable for certain white colonists, and in places like Cuba or the American South these slaveholders held complete power of politics and society. Because Spanish colonial authorities were so brutal to Mexico's indigenous people, I highly doubt that they saw the enslavement of black people as a specific evil.
Did slaveholders from other parts of the Spanish Empire ever attempt to import this economic system to Mexico? Was slavery banned? Why exactly did this economic system never take root?
