IE. The crop Sweet potatoes have had a good influence. On a scale of 1-5, I would give them a 5. According to foodreference.com over 2.4 billion pounds are sold yearly in the US. They are packed with calcium, potassium, and vitamins A and C making them a superfood. They have been used throughout history to better mankind for instance George Washington Carver worked extensively with the sweet potato. He developed 118 different products from sweet potatoes, including a mucilage for postal stamps, an economic method for sizing cotton fabrics, dehydrated food and an alternative to corn syrup. ]]> 2016-02-25 17:32:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/97349833 vickerymb https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/97611704 2016-02-26 17:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/97611704 Abby Heppenstall - Smallpox heppenstallae https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/97613134 I rate smallpox 5 out of 5 bad for it's devastating influence on the Native Americans. Small pox is no longer a threat in the United States, but when Columbus came over with this disease the results were devastating. Europeans were immune to smallpox by the time Columbus arrived in the Americas. Devastating European diseases killed almost 90% of the Native Americans. Out of this 90% half of their population was wiped out by smallpox. Smallpox causes victims to experience small bumps, blisters, scars, fever, malaise, chills, headaches, vomiting, and pain in the back or muscles. Smallpox was extremely contagious and spread like wildfire through native tribes. This disease caused infected to lose strength so quickly that sick tribes could not bury their dead let alone care for their own health needs. Smallpox was also the only disease used to purposely decrease population of Native Americans. During the Seven Year War Europeans purposely gave the Native Americans smallpox infected blankets to lessen the native population. Nowadays vaccines are used to prevent smallpox, but if someone were not to take the vaccine and contract it there is no cure.]]> 2016-02-26 17:54:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/97613134 Abby Nagel- Sheep nagelac https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/97965216 On a scale of 1-5 I would rate sheep a 4 a good influence to south america. This is because of all the things sheep can produce for example sheep can have one to three lambs every five to six months, sheep wool can not light on fire, and sheep are plant eaters witch means they could be turned out onto a small grassy amout of land. Also sheep meat can be cooked in many ways. One it can be boiled grilled or fryed and can even be made into jerky for long trips. This is why I would rate sheep a 4. But not all mayans ate sheep]]> 2016-02-29 17:31:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/97965216 Aspen https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/97965978 Chili peppers, On a scale of 1-5, that it is bad is, 2/5. Chili peppers are food, and a weapon. When the Spanish Used the canons against the Maya, the Maya used their chilly pepper to attack back. Then Mayans used the Chili peppers to drive away the Spanish,But then the Spanish took some of the chili pepper that the Maya grow, and took some to take back to Spain. Spain figured out that the Mayas chili peppers could be used as a weapon.]]> 2016-02-29 17:33:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/97965978 Jaycie - Citrus Fruit maschinojl https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/97969017 In the Columbian Exchange the west got new citrus fruit from the east .such as oranges, grape-fruit, lemons, and limes. I would rate citrus fruit 5/5. Because it gave people new foods to eat and the fruit helped cure diseases. The way the fruit helped cure diseases is by the juice inside of the fruit which is filled with vitamins]]> 2016-02-29 17:42:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/97969017 Daniel- Pears overbaughdh https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/97970585 On a scale of 1-5, I think pears are a 4 good influence on South america. Argentina produces around 774,000 metric tons of pears every year. According to whfoods.com they are a very good source of fiber. It is also a good source of vitamin C and vitamin K. Because it has so much fiber, scientists say that it helps with type 2 Diabetes by making you less sensitive to Insulin. They also say that it helps prevent Heart Disease. ]]> 2016-02-29 17:47:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/97970585 Aiden whopping cough valoreaj https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/98018061
Whopping cough is caused by Bordetella pertussis (or B. pertussis) a bacterium. It is extremely contagous. Symptoms include: low grade fever, coughing, sneezing, and a runny nose. whopping cough was very bad because it spread like wildfire and will kill infants and young children, which will prevent a new generation from being born and could end the race of the Indians.
Through 2000 to 2014, 277 deaths from whopping cough were reported.It is spread by coughing. It can kill you by suffocating you to death, giving you pneumonia, and others I would rate whopping cough 4:5 bad!]]> 2016-02-29 20:12:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/98018061 https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/98019030 Goes to the measles ]]> 2016-02-29 20:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/98019030 Piper- Pineapple ohlmsps https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/98245010 I would give pineapple a 3/5 good because it fed the Europeans. It has 105% Vitamin C and 20% copper and 9% fiber. Pineapple helps with digesting things faster. Scientist have discovered that pineapple is a good thing to help with going on a diet. Pineapple is a dessert for the people of Europe. Christopher Columbus was exploring around new country's and he brought back a pineapple with him when he went exploring. It gave the people in Europe more energy to use.]]> 2016-03-01 17:21:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/98245010 Marcus - Peanuts vickerymb https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/98246490 I would rate peanuts, on a 1-5 scale, 4, good in The Columbian Exchange to the East because peanuts have lots of monounsaturated fats, the kind of fats that are used for energy. Peanuts are also heavy in protein, which is needed to build muscle and is an essential in a healthy diet. Peanuts also greatly influenced the way eastern chefs cook, as they were sometimes served raw like an appetizer, and that is still done today. (Think Texas Roadhouse) Peanuts were also used as a topping, and of course, everyone knows about peanut butter, even though the process of roasting peanuts and butter was not patented by The Kellogg Brothers until 1895. While some might rate peanuts lower because of allergies, remember, you cannot develop a allergy in your bloodline until there is exposure to it, so it would have taken 3 to 4 generations for a allergy to develop.]]> 2016-03-01 17:24:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/98246490 Brayden:Pig palmbc https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/98248306 I think the influence of pigs from east to west. I would rate pig a 3 out of 5. The pigs that they brought to the U.S. had a good influence. They have plenty of meat in one smaller animal. There are 12 cuts of meat in one pig. About 300 lbs of meat are in one pig. The pig has 25 bones that they use for tools. We use pig for ham around Christmas. We also make pigs in to bacon we sell about 5,608,654,506 lbs of bacon per year. I think the pig was a good influence, after all they are bacon.]]> 2016-03-01 17:28:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/98248306 Elleana, The Measles https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/98250454 The measles would be given a 4 out of 5 bad, this disease can cause death if not treated.The symptoms for the measles are, Fever, dry cough, runny noise, and a rash. The measles can only be prevented by vaccines and is spreads easily. Above is a picture showing the measles, you will notice the rash is bumpy , red, and at the tip white, it looks just like a thousand mosueto bites. The measles can also be known as Rubeola, Rubeola is extremely rare, there where only 188 cases of the measles in the united states in 2015 ( It seems like a lot but trust me that's not even close to a lot. This disease can be treated, you can take the pain reliever called Acetaminophen witch is also called Tylenol, or you can take the MMR vaccine. Children and teens will need medical care, the PCP ( Primary care provider) that Prevents, diagnoses, and treats diseases.]]> 2016-03-01 17:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/98250454 Anna- Typhus https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/98253072 5 out of 5 Bad! Because when Columbus came, the Indians had no immune system to these new diseases from Europe. So they got really sick and it wiped out most of the Indians. Some of the symptoms are

Headache

Cough

Muscle pain

Fever

Rash that starts in the middle of the body and spreads.

There are a lot of other symptoms, but I can't list them all. Typhus is caused by little bugs filled with 2 types of bacteria: Rickettsia typhi or Rickettsia prowazekii. When Columbus came he brought the bacteria with him and the bugs. That is why I think it is 5 out of 5 bad.

On a scale to 1-5 I believe that grapes are a 5 on the good side/ European . Grapes prevent a lot of sickness like Cancer,Heart Disease High Blood Pressure and more, but Grapes contain powerful antioxidants witch slows cancer down and prevents cancer. Grapes are one of the healthiest foods in the world. It has many varieties of things you can make out of the grapes . For example juice,wine,raisins and more. Grapes were born about 6,000-8,000 years ago in the east.

Others believe that syphilis was already in Europe before Columbus made his voyage. Syphilis is a contagious disease and can damage your heart, brain, and other organs . If you have syphilis you will get rashes that make you have flu-like symptoms such as have a fever, headache, sore throat, and muscle aches. Syphilis did not kill anyone who had it because we have a cure.]]> 2016-03-03 16:15:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/98806396 https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/98807488 2016-03-03 16:17:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/98807488 Amalie - Bananas bayasgalanau https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/98808477 On a scale of 1-5 I believe that bananas are a 4 out 5 of a good influence to the west. Bananas help depression and is a mood neurotransmitter, that can make you happier from the serotonin in the banana. Bananas also can also protect against childhood leukemia, type II diabetes, and strengthen the nervous system. Bananas can lower blood pressure and protect against heart attacks because of the potassium levels of the banana. Bananas have vitamins, minerals and fiber which can help you with your digestion. Atheletes like cyclists deal with endurance, banana's helps them with riding longer because of the natural sugars that can sustain energy. This is why I would rate the banana 4 out of 5 for the west.]]> 2016-03-03 16:19:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/98808477 Trent - Cacao wilkinsonto https://padlet.com/jdietz2/zgng9hsaqxlg/wish/98810108 From what I say, I think that Cacao is a 3 / 5 good influence to the people of the west. I think this because cacao makes chocolate, but chocolate is very unhealthy. I say that it is good because it stores lots of calories for the Mayans to gain when it comes to eating them. Cacao could be used for trade back then in the Mayan economy. Cacao were a lot like cocoa beans. Cacao grew on trees as a large shell that stored lots of cacao beans. These shells looked a lot like this.

At first cattle were seen as bad because they ate all of the Native American crops they had planted. They had found that cattle had many benefits. Some examples are people can eat the cows meat, they provided hides and transportation.

The disease I am going to do is Yellow Fever. It is caused by infected mosquitoes. Yellow fever killed 30,000 people worldwide each year, just for more clarification 90% of that was African people. Here are the main symptoms of Yellow Fever, yellow eyes and skin. The side effects of Yellow Fever are Pain in the stomach, muscles, chills, a fever and loss of appetite. Yellow Fever can not be cured, but some treatments can help.You can get a vaccine recamended for children 9 and older and for adults, to help stop Yellow fever. No treatment was actually made for this Fever, but doctor recommended treatments will help.
