It is a legend. Legends typically contain a small sliver of truth, but they become misconstrued and distorted over time.

"A legend contains some facts and becomes exaggerated to the point that real people or events take on a 'larger than life' quality. In contrast, a myth isn't based on fact, but is symbolic storytelling that was never based on fact."

- Bismarck Tribune, "Examining the difference between myths and legends"

"... It was an epoch-defining moment in their distant past. As the historical sources - Herodotus and Eratosthenes - show, it was generally assumed to have been a real event."

- BBC Culture, "Did the Trojan War actually happen?"

Yuri [45]
The Columbus Exchange was a very negative event that had many impacts on natives for what I can see. A very important and major impact this caused was a spread of a disease called smallpox. This disease infected many people part of their community as lead to death in many causing there population to decline quickly. People have even been said to believe that 90% of the natives who got infected with this disease died which can show that it was very deadly. Lucky we do not have to worry about this horrible disease.
