__**Impact**__ Before the Colombian Exchange there were no Florida oranges, no tomatoes in Italy, no pineapples in Hawaii, no rubber trees in Africa, no cattle in Texas, and no chocolate in Switzerland. The Europeans changed the lives of the Native Americans by bringing the horse to America. Not just food and animals made this journey though, Slaves were brought from Africa and Infectious diseases spread throughout the world. Invasive species also made this journey and changed the environment of the new world.
