Well the colombian exchange was trading goods between europe and the americas and one of those "goods" was slaves (Amfrican Americans). Europeans took African Americans from their home region and traded them as slaves, changing european, american and african cultures and societies

Answer:

The Columbus Exchange affected African people by enslaving and forcing them to become slaves in the New World. During the exchange, Europeans started settling in colonies to start a new life by establishing plantations of new cash crops like tobacco. The Columbus exchange brought diseases which caused Natives Indians to die after coming to contact with the Europeans. The lack of the native population led to the rise of the slave trade in the New World. Enslaved African put into plantation as labor in fields.
