What is a continuity of the Atlantic World during 1492-1750?

Question

?

Answer 1

The Colombian Exchange is a historical conceptualization (by AW Crosby in his 1972 book) of the transfer of goods, people, ideas, crops, and culture around the Atlantic world from the discovery of a tropical transatlantic route through the decline and end of the slave trade. I'm not sure about the 1750 date, but it might have to do with declining slave shipments (preceding England's banning of the trade in 1807).

Elements of this Exchange were crops like tomatoes and tobacco from the Americas becoming staples and important cash crops in Europe, Africa and Asia, the transatlantic slave trade and European colonization of the New World, Christianity's expansion to the Americas, and the spread of Spanish and English languages.

Oh, I left diseases off the list. It belongs on it.
