I think I would say bad but here’s my explanation why ig: The Columbian Exchange transported plants, animals, diseases, technologies, and people one continent to another. Crops like tobacco, tomatoes, potatoes, corn, cacao, peanuts, and pumpkins went from the Americas to rest of the world. ... The triangular trade was the trade between Europe, Africa, and the Americas.

Answer: Bad

Step-by-step explanation:

Though there were positive effects, the Colombian Exchange had a long-lasting negative impact. Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas facilitated the exchange of plants, animals and diseases between the Old and New Worlds. For generations, Christopher Columbus was considered a hero of American history.
