Christopher Colombus introduced to the <em>New World</em> horses, sugar and plants. Of all of these commodities, sugar proved to be the most important one. Although refined sugar was available in the Old World, Europe's harsher climate made sugar cane difficult to grow. Colombus brought sugar in 1943 and the crop prosper. Caribbean islands and most other tropical areas became centers of sugar production.

On the other hand, the Old World diseases had a devastating effect when introduced to Native Americans via European carriers, as the people in America had no natural immunity to new diseases. <em>Measles</em> caused many deaths. The <em>smallpox</em> epidemics are believed to have caused the largest death tolls among Native Americans. <em>Yellow fever</em> is thought to have been brought to the Americas via the Atlantic slave trade. The disease caused widespread fatalities in the Caribbean during the bloom of slave-based sugar plantations. That been said, diseases were the <em>worst commodity</em> brought into the New World.

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: The three sisters important to early American settlers were Squash, Corn and Beans.

Explanation: In addition to nutritional value, the crops would help each other grow. The corn would sprout first and grow tall, which enable the bean plant something to attach to, while both provided shade for the squash plant that grows lower to the ground. The squash plant would cover the ground to keep weeks from attacking the other two plants. Many native American settlers grew these plants together before pilgrims arrived in the 1600's. Nutrition was important, especially in desert areas, like Nevada, where other crops would not grow easily.
