The Columbian Exchange and the slave trade affect the economies and the people in Europe, Africa, and The Americas in many ways. Columbian Exchange might have been very popular back then, especially when the Europeans explorers brought new plants and animals to Europe and Asia like corn, potatoes, tobacco, and cocoa and when Europe and Asia brought horses, cattle, and pigs to The Americas. "The Columbian exchange dramatically changed the world". This quote from the textbook explains and shows how valued and how Columbian exchange had an impact on the world. This Columbian exchange really change the world not only for good, but for bad. It all started like new items, food, and animals. But after time it all became an tragedy. The Columbian exchange had good things in the beginning this exchanged continued to improve diets and no longer life spans.But on the bad side lots of innocent people started to die. This new items, food and animals that came from the Native Americans had no natural ingredients and were not disinfected which brought a huge diseases to the Europeans and Asians. This diseases often started to expand until it was killing almost all of the population. Besides the Europeans were not getting any of this food, items, or animals for free, they started to trade their goods with the Americas for their goods, since for them the Americas goods where new and different. The Columbian exchange did not only bring diseases to the Europeans and Asians. The Americas, Asians and European started to take trading more developed. "Over time, a trading pattern involving the exchange of raw materials, manufactured products, and slaves developed among Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Europeans shipped millions of enslaved Africans to work in the colonies in the New World." Trading started to get harsh and very mean overtime. From trading goods from each other like food and animals, it started to trade their own people.
The Columbian Exchange dramatically changed the course of history, culture, politics, and everything else in Europe, Africa, and the Americas. What Africa got out of it was slavery. While a few men may have profited from selling off kidnapped people from rival tribes to the Europeans, millions of people would be directly exported from Africa, sometimes to Europe, but the vast majority to the Americas, mostly to work on the plantations and farms of the southern British colonies and Latin America. The Americas got colonized by the European powers, sometimes with their resources being taken advantage of and their native people displaced and even slaughtered, but they truly became the New World that would forever dramatically change the face of the world. Europe, of course, received infinite opportunities in the Americas, in terms of land, resources, new people and products to interact with, and a whole new frontier for the politics and history of the world to take place on. And, of course, absolutely incredible opportunities to expand their empires.
