Chapter 17 Outline CHAPTER OUTLINE I. The Columbian Exchange A. Demographic Changes 1. The peoples of the New World lacked immunity to diseases from the Old World.

Similar patterns of contagion and mortality may be observed in the English and French colonies in North America. Europeans did not use disease as a tool of empire, but the spread of Old World diseases clearly undermined the ability of native peoples to resist settlement and accelerated cultural change. B.
