**Block 7** **The Columbian Exchange** **The Columbian Exchange had a positive affect, and it was all because of a man named Christopher Columbus.Christopher Columbus planned to sail west and find a route to India, instead finding the Americas.** **There are many things Christopher brought back to the Americas like horses which had helped the Spanish on their quest. Other things he had brought back were plants, pigs, corn, pumpkins, tomatoes, and potatoes, and trees that were never known to the American land.** **Hundreds of thousands of codfish were shipped back to England, France, Potugal and Spain. The potato was brought back to Europe from the Americas. Also the New World animal, that affects the Europeans diet in a great way.** **In my opinion The Columbian Exchange helped many of us in the world in a great way, not only the Old Worlds but the New World as well.**
