The Columbian Exchange. Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1975. Questions: 1. Identify a key plant, animal, and disease that only the New World had and only the Old World had. Explain why these animals, plants and diseases might have a large impact on the continent that they will be brought to. Animals: _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ Foods: _______________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ Diseases: _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ 2. Consider food dishes that would not exist had European and American plants/animals not been combined. Create a list of at least 3 dishes that would not exist if the Columbian Exchange had not taken place. 1. 2. 3. 3. Consider the differences between the infectious diseases indigenous to each region. How do you think disease will affect the colonization process? (explain your reasoning using details from the chart) Some diseases you may not have heard of before: Sleeping sickness: Sleeping sickness is infection with organisms carried by certain flies. It results in swelling of the brain. Infection leads to drowsiness during the day, but insomnia at night. Sleep becomes uncontrollable as the disease gets worse, and eventually leads to coma. Chagas disease: Chagas disease is an illness spread by insects (related to the insects that cause sleeping sickness). It is common in South and Central America. The early stage of infection is usually just swelling of the eye and of the insect bite. The later stage leads to difficulty in swallowing, intestinal blockage, abdominal pain, and inability to digest food properly. Yaws: Yaws is a long-term (chronic) infection that mainly affects the skin, bones, and joints. In later years, Yaws causes swelling of the fingers and bones, malformed bones, bone pain, and possibly disfigurement. Yellow Fever: Yellow Fever is a viral infection that causes a fever (and other flu like symptoms), then organ failure (kidney, liver, brain), seizures, hemorrhaging, and death. The Triangular Trade developed out of the Columbian Exchange From> Europe: cash, finished goods Americas: raw materials, cash crops, food Africa: slaves >To Africa and Americas Europe Americas
