The+effects+of+the+Coulombian+exchange.

=There where many effects in the Columbian exchange. For example there were many people working here in the Americas because there were gold mines and the Europeans wanted the gold, but of course they didn't want to work here themselves, so they had other people. On the European's way back and fourth they caught diseases and gave some! Some of the diseases they brought were small pox, cholera, and measles. The Europeans brought home, syphilis.= =The Europeans benefited from the Columbian Exchange. They got all new different kinds of food such as; maize(corn), potatoes, tomatoes and a lot of other farm plants. They also received gold as mentioned earlier.= =In the Americas, the people received farm animals witch they benefited from because they didn't have any farm animals before then. They also received pests such as rats!= =**The African slave trade** was also set in motion. This was the forced migration of millions of African men and women across the Atlantic. This was because in order to keep the mines, plantations, and producing for the European market, European mine and estate owners had to find more labor. Because Europeans were frequently unable to find the local Indian labor they wanted, and free Europeans were unwilling to cross the Atlantic in large numbers to take up hard jobs and expose themselves to diseases. In order to continue making profits from production and selling of sugar, silver, and other things, they brought in African slaves. Europeans believed African slaves were cheap, and usually experienced at farming.=
