All of the disease that the Europeans brought to the Americas practically wiped out an entire civilization. How different would the America's have been if Europeans had not shared their germs and disease with the Native Americans?]]> 2022-02-14 04:33:35 UTC https://padlet.com/christophershepherd1/tjqjq9ok9o1z4ugl/wish/2045415339 https://padlet.com/christophershepherd1/tjqjq9ok9o1z4ugl/wish/2054204489 I believe the most life changing product was the transfer of diseases because Native Americans basically lived free of diseases so they had no immunity. The native Taino population of the island of Hispanola was extinct within 50 years of coming in contact with Columbus. Within another century the least affected natives lost 80% of their population while the most affected lost their entire population. I wonder what great contributions some of these people might have made to the world that we missed out on and how they would have affected us today.]]> 2022-02-17 22:49:17 UTC https://padlet.com/christophershepherd1/tjqjq9ok9o1z4ugl/wish/2054204489 https://padlet.com/christophershepherd1/tjqjq9ok9o1z4ugl/wish/2054244213 I think that our lives would be very different without the Colombian exchange because we wouldn't have a lot of different foods. We also wouldn't be able to develop immunity, and vaccines to all the diseases that Europe Africa and Asia brought]]> 2022-02-17 23:33:33 UTC https://padlet.com/christophershepherd1/tjqjq9ok9o1z4ugl/wish/2054244213 https://padlet.com/christophershepherd1/tjqjq9ok9o1z4ugl/wish/2055544388 I think something great and important that happened because of the Columbian trade was all the new food we got and i think this was important because l it helped us get more recourses and food. ]]> 2022-02-18 16:23:46 UTC https://padlet.com/christophershepherd1/tjqjq9ok9o1z4ugl/wish/2055544388 https://padlet.com/christophershepherd1/tjqjq9ok9o1z4ugl/wish/2057741068 Do you think the world is better off because of the Columbian Exchange? Why or Why not? I think the world is better off because of the Columbian exchange because we get to exchange needed items with others in the world. Their products made us better and ours made them better.]]> 2022-02-20 23:20:25 UTC https://padlet.com/christophershepherd1/tjqjq9ok9o1z4ugl/wish/2057741068 karc5684 https://padlet.com/christophershepherd1/tjqjq9ok9o1z4ugl/wish/2061367209 I think the world is better off because of the columbian exchange because if we didn't have the columbian exchange we wouldn't have all the foods that we have today.]]> 2022-02-22 20:38:25 UTC https://padlet.com/christophershepherd1/tjqjq9ok9o1z4ugl/wish/2061367209 https://padlet.com/christophershepherd1/tjqjq9ok9o1z4ugl/wish/2063469854 My life would be different without the columbian Exchange because we would not have all the new foods like rice apples bananas and coffee, we also would not have those trade routes.]]> 2022-02-23 22:12:23 UTC https://padlet.com/christophershepherd1/tjqjq9ok9o1z4ugl/wish/2063469854 https://padlet.com/christophershepherd1/tjqjq9ok9o1z4ugl/wish/2088166080 I think life would've been very different without the Colombian exchange. It would be different because without the diseases we wouldn't have had any immunity to any diseases or sickness, and we wouldn't have such a different variety of foods, and we wouldn't know what most foods tasted like. ]]> 2022-03-10 11:50:25 UTC https://padlet.com/christophershepherd1/tjqjq9ok9o1z4ugl/wish/2088166080
