Columbian Exchange v. Triangular Trade

 We are 12 days away from the Exam.  One thing students always get confused is the Columbian Exchange the Triangular Trade.  I hear they are the same thing, but they are NOT!  

The Columbian Exchange is Unit 1 - 1491 to 1607. 

It is when the Spanish (Europeans) exchange between the Native Americans.  They exchanged animals, plants, cultural life, and diseases.  The exchange had positive and negative effects.  The  most positive impact for Native Americans is the introduction of the horse.  The most positive impact for the Spanish is the introduction of New World Foods.  It saved the European population.  The worst impact was disease.  The worst one being Small Pox.


The Triangular Trade in Unit 2 - 1607 to 1754

Unit 2 is all about England and Colonial Trade.  The Triangular Trade was established.  Know the differences!
