Which side do I think got the better end of the deal?
Well I think both side got it equal. I believe this because both got things that they needed and didn’t have before. The New World did get more animals but the Old World got things that will make their food and drinks better. Every one is happy because they got things they needed fast. So I think both sides got a good deal.
The Columbian exchange brought over food products over to America. They also brought gunpowder and horses to America as well.the food they brought was corn, tomatoes, potatoes, peppers,pumpkins, squash, cacao, beans and sweet potatoes.The Americans were introduced to livestock such as cattle,pigs and sheep as well as grain such as wheat.Asia brought over onions, citrus fruit,bananas coffee beans, olives grapes rice and sugar cane.
New to Old Old to New
Horses Tobacco
Cattle Pepper
Pigs Chocolate
Sugar Cane Sunflower
Watermelon Peanuts
I think both got it good because they have/ had good resources to get what they got. I think that in the old days they had it pretty easy because they grew their own food and killed their own food. So that’s my opinion on this subject.

Well i think America got the good end out of the deal because the Europians had way more stuff. But i'm not really saying that they didn't get anything good cause they got our turkey and blueberry's and all sorts of stuff. I'm glad we did the exchange because other wise we wouldn't have as much stuff as we do right now.
OLD WORLD: Corn, potato, tobacco, chocolate, vanilla.
NEW WORLD: horse, chicken, pig, banana, cattle.
I think that the new world had the best supplies because the hade all the meat [pig, chicken, cattle.] because you cant really live with out meat I mea you can if you want to but you have to have at least a little bit of meat and the old world did not have no livestock.
