The Columbian Exchange: Explorers, Trading Companies, and Big Business Notes

Trading Companies and Big Business Dutch East India Company- Netherlands, Britain, and France all chartered great trading companies that were given government monopolies of trade in the designated regions. Became problematic because they had the right to have their own armies and coin their own money, and they did so without a lot of real regulation from their home states.

Impact of Trade: Europeans settlers begin arriving on the Atlantic Coast The Atlantic colonies of North America soon became filled with European settlers fleeing their previous homes due to religious dissent, ambition, and other motives. Their arrival leads to the death of many natives. Population decline greater than that of the Black Plague Society that develops is much closer to that of western Europe than of any societies in South America. Colonists are very interested in writings and works of Europe. Example: Ideas of John Locke

Document Four - Columbian Exchange Exchanging crops proved to be a far more intricate, involved process than ever could have been imagined at the time. Remarkably, the people of the Americas realized that crops with higher caloric value could not only feed more people, but also allowed people to work harder because they were more energized. This led to an adoption of American crops by European peasantries that changed entire cuisines in various cultures and spread rapidly through the Americas, Europe and finally, Africa. An important crop in Europe was potatoes, as they could be left in the ground until they were ready to be eaten and allowed many Europeans to evade taxes, as tax collectors did not go so far as to dig up not yet harvested crops. Similarly, potatoes were also a helpful crop and food source because when armies invaded and rounded up food for themselves, they were similarly unable to steal the potatoes; thereby, leaving food for the European people.  Animals were also a key part of the Columbian Exchange. Horses, pigs, sheep, and cattle were all European animals that flourished rapidly in the Americas because they were able to reproduce without being hindered by predators. Pigs were also a key animal used during ocean travels because they could be dumped on the way to a country or place and then picked up and eaten on the way back. The horse, too, was also a very useful animal as it helped with battle; it allowed for faster travel, it allowed for the surprising of opponents, and allowed people to fight from a higher level.  “Columbian Exchange” March 31, 2006 Lauren Ree

Document Five - Columbian Exchange Before the potato (and maize) … on average European peasant ate less per day than hunting and gathering societies in Africa…. In the century after the potato’s introduction Europe’s numbers (population) roughly doubled. The Irish, who ate more potatoes than anyone else had the biggest boom…[from] 1.5 million in the 17th century to more than 6 million two centuries later….because more children survived…potatoes prevented death from famine….better nourished people were less likely to die of infectious disease. Excerpt from the book 1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus Created, Charles C. Mann
