Peoples- Spanish brought slaves to America, because they had killed most natives & needed cheap labor
Crops- Natives grew crops Europeans had never seen before. Natives learned new ways to use crops because of Europeans.
Diseases- Europeans had diseases that they brought with them to America, which killed the native population (almost) off.
