The Columbus Exchange was really great, but it was also very terrible. There are negative and positive side-effects of it. Some of the positive effects were that they were able to trade with the natives, and they were able to create new maps that were more accurate than others. So there were some positive. Now let's get to the negative effects, which involved mistreat and slavery.
The negatives were about they got the exchange going, and how they took advantage of it. They enslaved the natives of the islands they were hosted at. They were treated like guests, but Columbus and his crew treated the natives like people they needed to conquer. They were cruel to them and sometimes they died from mistreat. So there aren't just happy stuff that happened, and there aren't just good maps and trading. There were terrible things going on. Now that you guys know what happened, and why, I will see you guys later with another "Core Concentration" blog post.
