The Spanish Crown had initially hoped to establish an orderly aristocratic society in the New World. Yet from the late 1520s, Spanish and Indigenous people throughout the colonies radically challenged the social order. Surprisingly, they did so not through violence but through the power of paperwork: petitions, complaints, and legal testimony.
