In this video Heimler continues explaining Unit 4 in AP World History, and in this one we talk about that momentous transfer of food, people, and disease between the Western Hemisphere and the Eastern Hemisphere, namely, the Columbian Exchange.

It’s hard to overestimate the great change that took place in the world as a result of the Columbian Exchange. Diseases like smallpox devastated the populations of the Native Americans. But animals like horses transformed their lives, arguably for the better. Foods were exchanged as well like maize, manioc, and potatoes, and these all led to population explosions.

And there is a dark side to the Columbian Exchange as well: the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. The wild success of agriculture in the New World, especially sugarcane and tobacco, led to an increased demand for Enslaved people to work the fields.
