5 most important things each side got
Old World to New World
1. The new world had gotten horses which was good for transporting them from place to place. Especially if they were going a long distance.
2. They had gotten chicken, cows and pigs which is where almost all our meat comes from. (Chicken, hamburger, bacon)
3. Tons of vegetables were exchanged like carrots, cabbage, cucumber and onions etc. They could’ve gone without these vegetables but food sources would be so much easier with these.
4. Not only did they get vegetables but they had gotten fruit to like the apple, banana, pear and peach etc. Fruit is very healthy for you.
5. Cotton which was good for clothing or blankets to keep them warm.
From New world to Old world
1. The old world had exchanged for turkeys and dogs which could’ve been used for food.
2. They had gotten fruits like strawberry, pineapple and blueberries.
3. They received spices like chili pepper, vanilla flavors and chicle (a chewing gum).
4. Something that would once become very important is rubber.
5. Tomatos, cocoa and tobacco were also exchanged.
I think the new world got the better deal because they had received much more. They got many more animals like horses, cows, chicken pigs which are still very important to us today. We wouldn’t have hamburger, bacon or chicken without these animals. We had exchanged many more vegetables like carrots, cabbage, lettuce and many more. Without the number of vegetables we had received then not very many of our meals would be like they are now, vegetables are very nutritious. I think it would be the same with fruits. We wouldn’t have very many fruits or the same nutritious amount of foods we have today. Other important things we use today are coffee, cotton, hemp, tea and wheat which are all things we received from other places.
