Answer:

It changed the way they lived, because the settlers not only brought disease and famine, they also brought foods.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the English, French, and Spanish explorers came to North America, they brought tremendous changes to American Indian tribes. Europeans carried a hidden enemy to the Indians: new diseases. Native peoples of America had no immunity to the diseases that European explorers and colonists brought with them.

Explorers and conquistadors brought many new plants to the Americas . They brought European crops such as barley and rye. They brought wheat, which was originally from the Middle East . They brought plants that had originally come from Asia, including sugar, bananas, yams, citrus fruit, coffee, rice, and sugarcane.

I really hope this helps you out!
