The Columbian Exchange was an exchange between the New World and the Old World of plants, animals, people, disease, and culture. Many of the impacts were positive for both but some of the exchanges were negative.
The New World gave the Old World staple foods including one of the most important cash crops, corn. It became a very important food for men and livestock. From the New World to the Old, potatoes, beans, peanuts, and many other foods became sources of nutrition for many European countries. From the Old world to the New World animals including horses, cows, oxen, sheep, chickens, and pigs were exchanged. Horses allowed Indians to move quickly and efficiently across land. Animals became important for labor, food, and clothing. Sugar cane
