Here’s a grouping of the effects of the Columbian Exchange according to the people they most likely describe:

Native Americans:

  • Decimated by disease and conquest
  • Targeted by Christian missionaries
  • Exposed to unfamiliar ideas and customs

Both (Native Americans and Europeans):

  • Profited from Atlantic slave trade
  • Rose to global dominance

Europeans:

  • Benefitted from new crops
  • Exposed to unfamiliar ideas and customs

Note: "Exposed to unfamiliar ideas and customs" might also apply to Native Americans, depending on the interpretation. The categorization can vary based on context, so some effects may overlap in their impact on both groups.
