Last, the Columbian exchange moved technology and ideas forward in America. The transportation of animals during the Columbian Exchange had a great impact on the New World. All of the sudden, the natives had new means of transportation, labor, and food sources. Europeans showed them animals like horses, pigs, cows, goats, and chickens. They had to do hard labor entirely on their own.
At the time, the Native Americans had only dogs, alpaca, llamas, guinea pigs, and fowl.
The Columbian Exchange allowed animals to be moved from the Old World to the New World. So, the Columbian Exchange influenced the world in a positive way by transporting goods. These goods are eaten every day and allow the world to maintain a healthy diet. The Europeans were also introduced to maize (corn), potatoes, beans, peanuts, squash, peppers, tomatoes, and cocoa (chocolate). Some of these goods are wheat, barley, turnips, sugar, grapes, bananas, rice, and olive oil. When European explorers arrived in America they brought goods. All in all, the Columbian exchange had a positive effect on history. It created an economic association between Europe and America. It was the exchange of goods, people/animals, and ideas from the New World to the Old World and the Old World to the New World. The Columbian Exchange was one of the most important events in history.
