__The Columbine Exchange__ For the most part the United States that we know and love would not exist without the Columbine Exchange. The process of revolutionary thinking would not exist either. We wouldn't have things like the light bulb, the car, the atomic bomb, the phone, computers, television, and jeans. All these things we wouldn't have. In fact, the people who walk around the hallways of the school, the people that drive down 64th every day and you would not exist. If Queen Isabella hadn't approved Columbus's voyage, Europe would be a baron land with little or no people to it's small land mass. The Native Americans would be living like they did before the settlers ever set foot on the east coast. The factors that made the population of the natives drop would never have existed. The exchange of goods from the new world to the old world and the reverse would never have happened either. Life on earth may be currently primitive without the Columbine Exchange. Japan would still be closed off. People would be starving all over the world, it would be a repeat of the middle ages. People in America rarely understand the foundation of the pyramid their lives are built on. Most people take the Columbine Exchange to be nonexistent event. Most think that the United States would still exist if this exchange did not happen. Therefore, I bring this paper to a conclusion. In believe that American today would never exist without this exchange.
