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.

Julianne Groshon AP U.S. History ? Chapter 4 - American Life in the Seventeenth Century The Unhealthy Chesapeake Life in the American wilderness was harsh. Diseases like malaria, dysentery, and typhoid killed many. Few people lived to 40 or 50 years. In the early days of colonies, women were so scarce that men fought over all of them.

The Tobacco Economy The Chesapeake was very good for tobacco cultivation.
