Victoria Stave Mr. Karlsson World History 25 February 2011 Columbian Exchange The Columbian Exchange has often been questioned if it was a good thing or a bad thing. Well, I’m going to tell you my point of view. Because of the Columbian Exchange many good and bad things were brought over from the Europe region to the North American Region. For instance, weeds some how got mixed within other seeds that the Europeans brought over for farming. Europeans also brought over many diseases with them and many new animals such as cattle. The cattle, in a way took over land and trampled a lot of crops. Cattle would double every 15 months, which would ruin and transform the land in America faster I personally think that the Europeans were rather rude and greedy, because of the Europeans wanted so much land for farming and raising their cattle and family, 90% of Native Americans were perished. Europeans changed America by cutting down forests to use the wood for their homes and to make a fire. They also cut down forests to make room for their crops and cattle.
