Because the Columbian Exchange brought disease to the Americas and killed most of the work force enslaved by the Europeans. They started using Africans. since there had been much contact between Europe and Africa disease wasn't really an issue. many tribes in Africa sold their countrymen into slavery for weapons and other status symbols. One of the good things to come out of it was the introduction of new cash crops to Africa. Because of the Columbian Exchange, Africa and the rest of the world has potatoes and corn as well as many other crops.
The Columbian Exchange significantly intensified the demand for labor in the Americas, particularly for plantation agriculture, leading to the expansion of the transatlantic slave trade. The introduction of cash crops like sugar, tobacco, and cotton created a labor-intensive economy that relied heavily on enslaved Africans. This demand contributed to the establishment of a brutal system of chattel slavery, which became a foundational aspect of American society and economy. Consequently, the Columbian Exchange not only reshaped agricultural practices but also entrenched racial hierarchies and systemic inequality in the New World.
Although the diseases transferred by the Columbian Exchange resulted in devastating mortality among indigenous populations in the Americas, they also significantly altered societal structures and dynamics. The drastic population decline led to labor shortages, which in turn facilitated the importation of enslaved Africans and the establishment of plantation economies. This exchange of diseases, crops, and cultures ultimately reshaped societies on both sides of the Atlantic, influencing economic and social development for centuries to come.
