They can trade with colonies to get raw materials.

Colonies will collect materials from where they are at, because it is plentiful there, and give it to their mother countries, where there are not that many materials. They would then create finished products out of the materials, and sell it back to the colonies.

Colonies could serve 2 important roles for their mother country which is a powerful country establishing the colonies in the first place. The first role is to produce raw materials from the resources of the area. Some examples are timber, beaver pelts, and most important gold. The second role of a colony is to act as a market and to import manufactured goods from another country. The more markets a country has the more it can sell and the more it can make

The biggest negative of the Columbian exchange is slavery (Atlantic slavery specifically). This is because slavery ruins several cultures and is very unfair. Slaves had to work in terrible conditions and were not respected at all. And this is all wrong and unjust.

the biggest negative in the columbian exchange was the slaves that were being abused and traded D:

The exchange of goods to different countries and to provide people with things that their country might not have.

# data[].attributes.body
everyone had things that they didn't have before. and the population grew

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest negative was slavery in my opinion, this is because slavery made many people die and and it was basically forcing people to work at no cost in bad living conditions which is inhumane and almost the same as torture

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest positive of the columbian exchange, at least for England, was that its economy boosted immensely and it made a lot o money. Also another positive is that people get resources from several different places and this helped decrease starvation and made lives easier for Native Americans and the "old world¨.

# data[].attributes.body
Diseases like small pox were brought to the Americas by Europeans

# data[].attributes.body
One of the biggest negativities of the Columbian was many diseases were passed around because of slaves being moved forcibly everywhere.

# data[].attributes.body
increased food supply

# data[].attributes.body
That the BIG MAMA increased her wealth.

# data[].attributes.body
The world’s human inhabitants became more genetically and ethnically interconnected and Population increase. Another thing is that people we exposed to new resources such as tomatoes, corn and potatoes.

# data[].attributes.body
The diseases brought to the new world during the Colombian exchange were catastrophic. To put this in perspective 90% of the Native Americans died.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the biggest positive of the Colombian Exchange was definitely the exchange of plant's and crops.All of the new plants led to a huge population growth. Also with the combination of new plant's we got really amazing food's like Pizza and Chocolate. SO thank you Colombian Exchange.

Some countries got richer, but some countries got scammed like USA and started losing money.

The idea of mercantilism is that the Government controls trade. This allows the government to import less than they export, which makes them wealthy.

# data[].attributes.body
Colonies supply the Government with raw materials which allows the government to create items to export to other countries

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest down side was the Atlantic slave trade because many people were treated like property, and died from harsh working conditions.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest positive of the Atlantic slave trade was that many different animals and foods were traded. For example, horses were brought to the new world which allowed Native Americans to travel faster

# data[].attributes.body
I think the most biggest positive of the Columbian exchange is the way various item got across the ocean and was now avalibe for everyone to use. For example if pigs were only found in england, now you could find them everywhere.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest negative in my opinion would have to be Atlantic slavery. Though I totally understand that diseases are truly disastrous and have caused a lot of loss, slavery is simply immoral. That too, after slavery came, it STAYED. Yes, so did the diseases, but slavery is something humans decided to do and keep. Imagine how different the world would be without it.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest positive would probably be in my opinion bringing new world food into the old world. This lead to the worlds' population increasing by double and more caloric foods being made (such as pizza).

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the biggest positive of the columbian exchange is that the diversity of plants, animals, and foods became better, making a better food supply for people, and also making pizza possible.
