In the year 1493 Columbus discovered a route to the Americas and brought‚ crops‚ animals‚ new ideas‚ minerals‚ and diseases. This began a mix of the “old and new world” this gave both positive and negative impacts on the world. From evidence to be shared‚ I believe that the cost of the Colombian Exchange outweighed the good. The Colombian Exchange had many negative aspects and effects due to the Exchange.

Though many explorers did not reach this goal‚ their journeys led to the discovery of new land in the Americas. Once the New World was founded‚ explorers continued to venture out and find more land.

The New World attracted missionaries wishing to spread their religion. Document 4 states that along

Europe ’s maritime dominance and the opening of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans had major consequences in world history.

NEW AND OLD WORLD ARCHAEOLOGY Artifacts of the old and new world have some likeness but also have many differences. I made a visit to the Cobb Museum at Mississippi State University to analyze this for myself. When down there‚ I saw pottery‚ writing‚ tools‚ jewelry‚ and many other things from each world.

The Columbian American exchange was a monumental turning point in time and I feel like the idea of this project was better than the actual outcome for my group. Our group contact was very helpful and I like how we were able to spend quite a bit of time making sure we had everything organized. Recording our process and next steps made the whole project move along as smooth as possible.

Overall the Columbian exchange is an unbalanced system‚ in which Native Americans were more greatly impacted. Afro-Eurasians provided cattle and horses (which produced war and famine)‚ weeds (which destroyed natural flora and fauna)‚ diseases (which decimated ninety percent of the population) and slavery (which introduced racial discrimination); and in turn the Americas provided silver (which enabled Spain to become a global superpower)‚ corn and potatoes (which re-shaped the Afro-Eurasian diet)
