The statement that provides the most accurate description of the Columbia Exchange is E. African population to the Western Hemisphere; Western Hemisphere food to Europe and Africa; African and European diseases to the Western Hemisphere. The Western Hemisphere had very arable land and thus was a great source of food and agricultural materials for the more populated Europe and Africa. European settlers used slave labor in the Western Hemisphere to harvest that food, labor that came in the form of African peoples. However, the indigenous peoples in the Western Hemisphere were not accustomed to the diseases of Africa and Europe. 

The Columbian Movement refers to the exchange of ideas, diseases, food, crops, and populations between the New and Old Worlds. It was significant because it led to the mixing of people, the spread of terrible diseases that decimated the Native American population, as well as the destruction of animals, crops, goods, and commerce routes.

The following is the statement that most accurately describes the Columbia Exchange:

  • Option E: Africans to the Western Hemisphere; food from the Western Hemisphere to Europe and Africa; African and European diseases to the Western Hemisphere

  • The Western Hemisphere had a lot of fertile lands, thus it was a wonderful supply of food and agricultural supplies for Europe and Africa, which were more populated.

  • Slave labor, in the form of African peoples, was exploited by European colonizers in the Western Hemisphere to gather that food.

The indigenous peoples of the Western Hemisphere, on the other hand, were not familiar with the diseases of Africa and Europe.
