LIFE WITHOUT… Life without chocolate sounds terrible and if we didn’t have chocolate it would be sinful. Think if Christopher Columbus didn’t come to America we wouldn’t have created all these amazing things that we take for granted in today’s day and age. We wouldn’t have the fries, hamburgers, pasta, coffee, and all important chocolate. People say that The Columbian Exchange was a bad thing because they brought over smallpox and other diseases. But the others say that it was a good thing because if Columbus didn’t com over to America we would not have anything that we have today. When they came over in groups they brought every thing from cows to yams. The great “American” animals such as horses, cows, and pigs didn’t even come from America they came from some where in Europe. When the Europeans came here they over threw the Native Americans to take their land and their plants and animals. When they found the potato they shipped it back to Europe so it can be harvested and a main food supply for poverty. Since they didn’t have wood in Europe and Asia they cut and shipped wood which almost to completely destroyed Americans supply of wood. Either way you look at it The Columbian Exchange was good and bad at the same time. So you can be on either side.
