The Columbian Exchange
What occurred
The Columbian exchange signifies the large-scale transfer of goods between Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America in the centuries following Columbus's arrival; this facilitation included but was not limited to people, crops, and animals. Although the Columbian Exchange did help to jumpstart America's settlement and expansion, it also spread disease, thus decimating populations, and played a role in expanding slavery throughout the world.
