Domesticated animals made farming, trading, and hunting easier. For example, horses made it easier for Plains Indians to hunt wild buffalo and move around. For other Natives in the Northeast and Atlantic Seaboard, horses made it easier to farm and trade, as well as travel. Other animals such as cows and pigs were good sources of food and materials for clothing. ]]> 2016-09-05 16:40:56 UTC https://padlet.com/yt00169/d2szrnmg1kun/wish/121616195 yt00169 https://padlet.com/yt00169/d2szrnmg1kun/wish/121635298 New diseases introduced through European contact such as small pox destroyed Native populations. About 8 in 10 Natives were killed and some historians estimate that 90% of Native populations were killed. ]]> 2016-09-05 21:35:11 UTC https://padlet.com/yt00169/d2szrnmg1kun/wish/121635298 yt00169 https://padlet.com/yt00169/d2szrnmg1kun/wish/121635504 Plants

For example, the Spanish would use their horses to travel around quickly and efficiently as well as use them to conquer Native peoples. Another example is the English would use plow horses to establish farms and would use animals such as cows and pigs for food sources and clothing sources. ]]> 2016-09-06 01:23:40 UTC https://padlet.com/yt00169/d2szrnmg1kun/wish/121654398 yt00169 https://padlet.com/yt00169/d2szrnmg1kun/wish/121654679 Disease didn't have the impact on Europeans that it had on Natives but the Natives did send Europeans home with one thing: Syphilis. This disease wasn't as bad as smallpox but it did have it's effects. ]]> 2016-09-06 01:26:29 UTC https://padlet.com/yt00169/d2szrnmg1kun/wish/121654679 yt00169 https://padlet.com/yt00169/d2szrnmg1kun/wish/121655259 Plants

Once the exchange happened and new crops were introduced to Europe, the population shot up. Then, with the influx of silver from Spain's expeditions, the economy skyrocketed. Cities began forming and population kept on rising. On the other hand Native populations were dropping at an alarming rate. Due to disease, their populations took a more-than-severe hit. ]]> 2016-09-06 01:41:35 UTC https://padlet.com/yt00169/d2szrnmg1kun/wish/121656334 yt00169 https://padlet.com/yt00169/d2szrnmg1kun/wish/121656903 This island is the most beautiful that I have yet seen, the trees in great number, flourishing and lofty; the land is higher than the other islands, and exhibits an eminence, which though it cannot be called a mountain, yet adds a beauty to its appearance, and gives an indication of streams of water in the interior. From this part toward the northeast is an extensive bay with many large and thick groves. I wished to anchor there, and land, that I might examine those delightful regions, but found the coast shoal, without a possibility of casting anchor except at a distance from the shore. The wind being favorable, I came to the Cape, which I named Hermoso, where I anchored today. This is so beautiful a place, as well as the neighboring regions, that I know not in which course to proceed first; my eyes are never tired with viewing such delightful verdure, and of a species so new and dissimilar to that of our country, and I have no doubt there are trees and herbs here which would be of great value in Spain, as dyeing materials, medicine, spicery, etc., but I am mortified that I have no acquaintance with them.]]> 2016-09-06 01:46:17 UTC https://padlet.com/yt00169/d2szrnmg1kun/wish/121656903 yt00169 https://padlet.com/yt00169/d2szrnmg1kun/wish/121657445 Here is no village, but farther within the island is one, where our Indians inform us we shall find the king, and that he has much gold. I shall penetrate so far as to reach the village and see or speak with the king, who, as they tell us, governs all these islands, and goes dressed, with a great deal of gold about him. I do not, however, give much credit to these accounts, as I understand the natives but imperfectly, and perceive them to be so poor that a trifling quantity of gold appears to them a great amount.]]> 2016-09-06 01:50:53 UTC https://padlet.com/yt00169/d2szrnmg1kun/wish/121657445
