    I am summarizing the first sub-division of chapter one, pages 1 through 7. The chapter begins talking about Christopher Columbus and how he was on the hunt for gold, so much so that he convinced the king and queen of Spain to finance an expedition for him promising to return with gold and spices from newly discovered land. However, during the voyage there, he stumbled upon The Americas where he then met the Arawak men and women, and the chapter then proceeds to explain their first encounters with Cristopher Columbus. When Columbus arrived he was greeted kindly with food, water, gifts and with amazing hospitality. Though he was greeted pleasantly one of the first things Columbus did was force the natives on ship with him, insisting they lead…

    Many Native American tribes were endangered of extinction because of the contamination the newcomers brought. Once the interaction of natives and newcomers occurred, many tribes died from malaria and tuberculosis. An estimated 1,100,000 Indians were reduced to 10,000 by disease (p. 13). Horrendous mortality rates were also due to swine influenza. The hogs that were traded with the Columbus expedition appeared to have spread infection. Before Columbus, Native Americans were not exposed to domestic animals, thus, they were first exposed when Columbus landed with sheep, horses, cows, and other animals. Because natives had no immunity to animal viruses; the animals were the mediators to most deaths. Though, it was not long until Native Americans were being affected with human-borne diseases. Illnesses that Europeans classified as childhood disease, such as, whooping cough, small pox, and mumps, had affected many Native Americans due to their lack of natural immunities (p. 14). Because many members of tribes had died from sickness, survivors had often merged with other tribes. Each merge required assimilations, which weakened tribal rituals and…

    Pertussis was acquired from pigs & dogs. Farmers have increased exposure to the germs of their livestock. In addition, keeping pets, human intimacy with animals, and animal fecal contamination in crowded sedentary urban conditions contribute to the increased exposure of humans. Many disease manifestations serve the needs of the infecting organisms in providing a means of increasing transmission. The transformation to exclusively human diseases involves changes in the intermediate vector and/or changes in the microbe. Newly introduced infections, like smallpox, measles, flu, diphtheria, malaria, mumps, pertussis, plague, and yellow fever, decimated up to 95% or more of the Mississippian Indians, Peruvians, Mexico Indians, etc. Khoisan, Pacific Islanders, and Aboriginal Australians were also decimated by imported diseases. Only syphilis, with its unknown origin may have traveled from New to Old World. The insufficiency of domesticated animals and their noncuddly characteristics prevented New World acquisition of human epidemic diseases from their own domestic animals. Although native endemic tropical diseases did not…

    When the Europeans came to America they were favorable, however, they decimated the natives that were west of the Atlantic with new diseases they brought over such as smallpox, chicken pox, or influenza. Unfortunately, many cultures were lost due to these circumstances. Even though the Europeans destroyed many other cultures, they were able to transform their own culture through the vast expansion of social traditions, different people, and religions around the world. As a result to these effects, wealthy commercial classes grew up along the Atlantic coast and Europe introduced the American potato and became dependent on sugar and…

    It is important to develop a clear thesis on the validity of the statement at the outset of the essay. A good essay could be developed on either side of the issue or in support of a middle-of –the-road position. Supporting paragraphs should be developed to build the position chosen. Both the Spanish and the English treated the Native Americans as inferiors, thought it important to bring them Christianity, sought to profit economically from relations with the Native Americans, and forced some Native Americans into slavery. Both brought terrible diseases to the New World, though the Spanish impact was more devastating because of earlier arrival. The Spanish attempted to integrate Native Americans into their colonial societies through intermarriage and through the establishment of agricultural communities with Native American workers. The English separated themselves from Native American life to a greater extent and relied mostly on trade for economic gain.…

    At the beginning of the Columbian Exchange, native Americans were weakened by disease brought by the conquerors, reducing their population by millions. It would have been impossible, in such a short amount of time, for the conquerors to subdue millions of people with only hundreds of soldiers, even with their horses and guns, unless natives were somehow weakened. It is because of this that J.R. McNeill (n.d.) stated, “By far the most dramatic and devastating impact of the Columbian Exchange followed the introduction of new diseases into the Americas.” Diseases like smallpox, typhus fever, or measles, among many others, were the silent monsters that almost completely annihilate American native populations. Two examples of the destructive nature…

    Diseases and slavery went hand and hand. The Europeans brought over diseases that they were immune to. Since the Native Americans weren’t used to the diseases from Europe, they quickly caught and spread it everywhere. Many of the Indians died because they weren’t used to things like this. When Slavery was brought into the Americas, Many Africans were forced to lay on top of each other causing the spread of disease on the long boat rides there.…

    Despite the positive changes established by the colonization, many negative consequences were brought upon the New World. With the emersion of foreigners in the New World, Native Americans suffered greatly because of diseases brought along with them. Native Americans were not immune to bacteria/germs carried by the new people, whom were resistant to it because they had lived around cattle/farms making them immune to various diseases. One of the main diseases that nearly wiped out the Native American population was smallpox; it was a viral infection that entered the body through the nose/throat and cause blisters all over the body. This virus was highly contagious because it was able to…

    The Columbian Exchange was a term used to describe the exchange of disease, food, knowledge of technology and culture, and animals between the Europeans and the Native Americans. One of the main exchanges between the Europeans and the Native Americans were the diseases brought from Europe. The Europeans brought deadly diseases such as small pox, measles, influenza, whooping cough, and many more. This caused the Native American population to be severely weakened and declined at least 90%. This decline made many Europeans, who came later, think some regions had been previously uninhabited.…

    Jared Diamond's article, “The Arrow of Disease” explains how the Native Americans living in the New World became victimized by germs from the Europeans.The main argument or question that is, is why didn't the New World Indian’s germs pass on to the Spanish invaders as they crossed the Atlantic back to Europe. In this article, Jared supports the claim that the Europeans have been already immune to the viruses and diseases. He takes it all the way back when Europeans had the plague outbreak, measles,flu, cholera, malaria, and etc.He also states how germs travel through animals and bugs and how the germs can destroy white blood cells at a rather rapid pace. Going on from that since the Europeans already have experienced well enough with viruses and diseases, if the Europeans were to get infected from the Indians it would not affect them as much.…

    Though warfare and attacks on entire villages took a definite toll on the populations of Native Americans, disease was by far the biggest killer. We’ve all heard the stories of smallpox infected blankets being given to the Native Americans, and other such atrocities, but I was simply dumbfounded at the actual numbers of dead due to Old World diseases being introduced to the New World, North America. While it has been somewhat difficult for scholars to determine the exact count of Indians who died from disease, they have fairly accurate estimates.…
