American Indian groups were negatively affected by the Columbian Exchange primarily through exposure to European diseases, such as smallpox and influenza, to which they had no immunity, leading to devastating population declines. Additionally, the introduction of new animals and agricultural practices disrupted traditional ways of life and land use. The arrival of Europeans also led to violent conflicts over land and resources, further displacing Indigenous communities and undermining their social structures. Overall, the Columbian Exchange dramatically altered the Demographics and cultural landscape of the Americas.
