MOST IMPACTING IN HISTORY?

• I think the Columbian Exchange is the most important impact in our history because without it we wouldn't have a lot of the things we have today. This is important because our country wouldn't be a melting pot of different kind of races and religions. Also we would have corn, coffee, berries, gold, silver, types of clothing and tools. As well as diseases even though it was not a great thing but now we know what we have if we get sick and how to cure it. Finally all the ideas like how to plant, make tools, and use strategies to make clothing or a home.
