Beringia was a land bridge in the form of a glacier before it became the bearing strait.  The cause of the migration was actually the food source for them. These Siberians were nomadic so they followed their food source. In this case, their food source was the mammoths.
So the effect of this migration is, well, the discovery of the Americas.

Remember, there was no knowledge of the Americas in the 1400's.
So with the approval of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabela, Columbus sailed and found the Caribbean islands and he claimed it for Spain. He found America and claimed it for Spain.
He died believing that this land was in Asia, but people learned that this wasn't Asia or India. This was the new world.
Spaniards came over and colonized most of Mexico and South America while also claiming most of Middle America, southeastern north America and all of the western parts of North America.
Below is a map of Spain's new empire in the new world. ]]> 2016-09-09 23:04:46 UTC https://padlet.com/dominicaaronwolf/w73opp9o9o30/wish/122896366 The Effects of the Columbian Exchange on the Old and New World...................................................... dominicaaronwolf https://padlet.com/dominicaaronwolf/w73opp9o9o30/wish/122896998 The Columbian Exchange was the widespread transfer of animals, plants, culture, people, diseases, technology and ideas between North America and Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries after Christopher Columbus' voyage.
There were many good things about this exchange, new things were brought to people in the old world and helpful things were brought to the new world.
There were Few bad things about the exchange but they were VERY bad. At the time, the Europeans made the American Indians their slaves. But with the introduction of diseases to them from the old world, approximately 90% of the American Indians died off leading to the enslavement of Africans which affected them until 1865, 200-300 years later.

SOUTHERN: 
  • Hot and wet climate 
  • long growing season 
  • short winters 
  • very fertile soil
  • mostly flat land
MIDDLE:
  • Warm and decently humid climate
  • mild winters 
  • warm summers
  • rich soil but not as rich as the south 
  • Mountains 
  • hills 
  • plentiful wooded areas
NEW ENGLAND:
  • Rocky soil
  • Wooded mountains
  • Short Growing season
  • Long Cold winters
  • Little Farmland
GOVERNMENT:
SOUTH:
Royal and Proprietary, The Royal Government was under the direct rule of the English Monarchy, while the Proprietary Government was ruled by one or several proprietors who owned the land and made the laws.
MIDDLE:
The Middle Colonies were originally proprietary colonies governed by landowners or others by grant from England, the Netherlands or France. At other times, they were royal provinces of England under the rule of an appointed governor.
NEW ENGLAND:
The governments in the New England Colonies during the second half of the 1600s consisted of local governors elected by legislature or by white male property owners and included the town-hall meeting as part of their local-affairs system. The New England Colonies enjoyed a relatively significant degree of political autonomy until King James II ascended the British throne in 1685, but England's 1688 Revolution removed James from power. Many of the New England Colonies continued to initiate legislation and vote on taxation until England asserted its supreme authority in levying taxes during the second half of the 1700s.

  1. People were looking for religious freedom (example; Quakers)
  2. Or people were looking for converters to their own religion as missionaries (example; Catholics)
  3. People who wanted to enforce laws based on their religious beliefs (example; puritans)
