 The Columbian Exchange The Columbian exchange was a great thing. There are many different reasons why it was a great thing. When it happened it brought a lot of domesticated animals from the old world to the new world. There were also some animals found later on. The exchange brought over a lot of domesticated plants as well. After a while there were a lot of other plants added to the new world. Diseases were a big problem in the old world and they carried on to the new world as well. The good thing about the new world is that in the new world we know how to control them and cure them. We have medication unlike the new world. Columbus discovered the Americas as long with a lot of other places and people. If it wasn’t for him the Americas might not be here right now or no one would know about us at all. Columbus has also traveled across the ocean to some land that the Americas may have never found either but instead Columbus found them for us. He was the first to find or do a lot of things. We wouldn’t have some of the animals or plants if the exchange didn’t happen because we wouldn’t know about them and what they were. We can also use the animals more in the new world because we can make blankets, coats, bags, and many more things. We could use them for them meat and food, also for transportation. They also make us money by selling them to people. We used the some of the animals in wars. We would ride on them so we could get to some place faster and take over the land a little easier. We can grow crops in the new world better than the old world because our soil and dirt is much better now than it was in the old world. We use our crops for more things now as well.
