These things had huge impacts on the Europeans, like the potatoes . The poptatoes could be stored easily. Citrus fruits were brought to the Americas, and horses too. The horses had an enourmous impact, allowing Natives to hunt on horse back. The horses, which were faster, enabled the Natives to hunt buffalo and travel faster and farther.**
 * Although many positive things came from the Columbian Exchange, disease was traded. The Europeans brought with them diseases like Small Pox, which was very dangerous to the Natives. Many Natives were killed because they could not fight the strange disease. The Europeans brought back Marlaria, also dangerous.**
 * As well as tangible exchanges, ideas were traded. Ideas like Ecology, Corporate Structure, and Liberty . The exchange of ideas is difficult to document and causes much contraversy. However, various ideas came into their own during the exchange and had considerable impact on the world.**
