History ETDs

In the conquest of New Spain it was considered useful to provide for development of the conquered land by distributing portions thereof to worthy vassals of the crown. Rural areas were gradually reduced to private ownership by means of land concessions granted in the name of the crown by various officers. These concessions took several forms but all bore a positive relationship to the basic resources, the existing occupation pattern, and the economic system already established in pre-Hispanic Mexico.
