The Columbian Exchange led to the widespread transfer of plants, animals, culture, human populations, technology, and diseases between the Americas and the Old World following Christopher Columbus's voyages. It introduced staple crops like potatoes and maize to Europe, significantly boosting food production and population growth. Conversely, it also resulted in the introduction of diseases such as smallpox to the Americas, leading to devastating declines in Indigenous populations. Overall, the exchange reshaped economies, diets, and societies globally, laying the groundwork for the modern world.
Disease killed millions of Native AmericansThe Columbian Exchange (the transfer of plants, animals, diseases, etc. between the old and new worlds) had both positive and negative impacts. For the native people in the Americas, the cumulative effect was negative.One example is large groups of native peoples being wiped out by European diseases like smallpox.
It is possible that Indians grew several native plants such as gourds and range from the Tucson basin in the Arizona desert, at an elevation of 700 mts.
Some governors objected to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act because government funds were not shared equally among states. States with large automotive plants such as Michigan clearly benefited from the funds while other states did not receive many benefits.
Production went down around 90% using European farming systems. Native American systems used a Milpa type of planting system which produced around 30 million calories per acre, where European farming systems produced between 3 and 7.9 million calories per acre. A "Milpa" or "Milpas" farming system is a way to grow multiple crops in the same space to benefit each type of plant, this type of system cannot use machines.
