What exactly was exchanged as part of the Columbian Exchange? Remember, the exchange includes both beneficial and devastating elements. Identify the significant differences between the two secondary-source excerpts (Bancroft and Faragher). What do you think had changed between 1834 and 2012 to allow for such a difference in interpretation? What impact did the Columbian Exchange have on people in the Western Hemisphere (New World) and people in the Eastern Hemisphere (Old World)? In what ways do we still feel the effects of the Columbian Exchange today? What do you think might have happened had Indians been immune to the germs introduced to them by the Europeans?
