Question

As a result of the Columbian Exchange, which of the following groups were enslaved?

A) European people
B) African people
C) Asian people
D) Native American people

Answer 1

D) Native American people

Step-by-step explanation:

As a result of the Columbian Exchange, which began in the late 15th century, Native American people were often enslaved. The arrival of Europeans in the Americas led to the forced labor and enslavement of Native Americans, primarily for activities such as mining and plantation work. This exploitation of Native American labor was a significant and tragic consequence of the Columbian Exchange.

Answer 2

African people were enslaved as a result of the Columbian Exchange.

Step-by-step explanation:

As a result of the Columbian Exchange, African people were enslaved. The majority of Africans brought across the Atlantic were destined to labor on sugar plantations in the Caribbean and Brazil. Many enslaved Africans were also sent to the Spanish colonies in South America, while relatively few went to the North American mainland. Enslaved Africans were both easily identified (by their skin color) and plentiful, because of the thriving slave trade. This led to a race-based slavery system in the New World.
