Depending on what way someone looked at it the Colombian Exchange, also known as the Great Exchange, could be positive or negative. In my opinion it was mostly positive with some small negatives. Well, the diseases that were brought over weren’t exactly small but compared to the other products that were brought over they’re overweighed.

Products brought over to the new world include many different animals such as cows, pigs, horses, and sheep. Since these animals were brought over the people here had a steady food supply from the animals and they knew how to breed them so that they would never run out. The animals like the horse and the cow were able to help with the more laboring jobs such as working out in the fields. Many herbs and spices were also brought over to the new world.

Without the Columbian Exchange the foods that we have today would most likely be very plain and we wouldn’t have a lot of the foods that we have today.
