The direct consequences of the Columbian Exchange include:
1. **Europe and the Americas are connected through trade** - The Columbian Exchange facilitated trade between the two continents, introducing goods, crops, and livestock.
2. **Ethnic diversity can be found throughout the Americas** - The exchange led to the movement of people, including European settlers, enslaved Africans, and indigenous peoples, contributing to the ethnic diversity of the Americas.
3. **Global culture is still dominated by European influences** - The exchange included the spread of European cultural practices, which have had a lasting impact on global culture.
4. **Christianity is one of the main religions in the Americas** - The Columbian Exchange included the spread of Christianity to the Americas, which remains one of the dominant religions today.
The other options, "Slavery is no longer legal in the United States" and "Smallpox has been eradicated in the United States," are not direct consequences of the Columbian Exchange. The former is a result of historical developments in civil rights and legislation, and the latter does not reflect the reality, as smallpox has been eradicated globally but not specifically attributed to the Columbian Exchange.
