  3. Benefits of the Columbianexchange Do to the link between hemispheres food sources or goods were exchanged and the population grew This allowed Cassava from South America to spread to Africa and Asia White potatoes to northern Europe Sweet potatoes and corn spread all the way to china Wheat was leading old world crop to come to the new world, yet the most important was Domesticated Animals

  4. Columbian Exchange From this exchange of food sources majorly increased the population more than 10X, about 500million in1492 to about 6billion today. Not everyone participated in the growth do to the demographic areas. European continent 1492 biggest winner, Asians generally well, Amerindians among the biggest losers

  5. Northern American Colonies The New World The Dutch Republic, England, and France were all three involved with discovering the New World Each of them had well thought out/planned ways of building ships and people who had talents with trade They were leaning towards gaining profit and so they started out in the Caribbean North America This area had multiple resources for farmers, artisans, laborers, and agricultural workers People were forced to leave Europe because prices from metal and trade routes were going down Therefore these settlers (Europeans) wanted to go to North America for a new and more successful life

  6. Differences In Settlements Virginia Settlers first came in search for gold, beaver furs, deer skin, and a passage to Asia (failure) : instead, tobacco is what they used and they wanted economic profit It was tough to live in this area and therefore the lower social classes lived here the most Many people settled here as indentured laborers, and didn’t receive very much at all for everything they did Native Americans weren’t treated with much respect; were seen as aliens Maryland There was also tobacco in this area Lord Baltimore (George Calvert) created a religious refuge for Catholics Weren’t respectful to the Native Americans either New England The pilgrim colony was the first settlement (1620) –Plymouth They also found a religious refuge The community was a result of the Mayflower Compact In this colony, they worked with the Native Americans and helped one another out
