Christopher Columbus
When Columbus discovered the Native Americans of Hispanolia he was the "point man" for 300 years of discrimination, murder, and the removal of Native peoples. The European explorer and settler felt they had the right to take the land for their use. Not only did they cut down forest areas, but they also brought plants and animals that were not native to North America. These things changed the landscape and the way people lived. Thus, impacting millions of Native Americans living in North America.
The Columbian Exchange was the exchange of American and European animals, plants, and diseases.
It was named after Christopher Columbus and was deemed to have started after his first voyage.

A herbarium is like a library of preserved plants. It contains mostly pressed, dried specimens of plants, but also pickled plants and plant parts. A herbarium collects these specimens to so that botanists can study plant species and morphology. Pressed plant specimens that are cared for properly can survive for hundreds of years, so they are an excellent reference source. A botanical garden is similar because it acts as a collection for reference to study plants, but they are living in a garden. Botanical gardens are usually open to the public to enjoy the collection, whereas a herbarium is usually only open to people who need to work with the specimens or see them for reference. Many botanical gardens have a corresponding herbarium.
