Gustavas Vassa was an African man was shipped to the Americas in shackles from Africa only to experience a more brutal form of slavery when he arrived. Gustavas Vassa did the best he could as a slave but often wished he would die, or be put to death rather than live in the condition in which he found himself. With the dream of being free, he believed it was never going to happen. At times he wished he could return to Africa, and be near his family, and the treatment of slaves wasn’t so brutal. He was fascinated by the way his captors did things and paid very close attention to their ways even though he disliked them.
Gustavas Vassa had a hard time adjusting to slavery in America, the slave owners were hypocrites in his opinion and had no remorse for what they did. Yet they continued to treat them in an inhumane way. They pushed Christianity and in the next action, beat them within inches of death for no reason. Gustavas knew no other way of life except to be enslaved.
The natives were impressed with the weapons the Europeans had they had never seen anything like it. They were very naive to what the Europeans were about and were not expecting what they did to them. The Europeans took complete advantage of the peaceful and calm nature of the natives. The Europeans took complete advantage and gained land, crops, slaves and animals, and left the natives completely bare. The only negative outcome for the Europeans that was bad was they were exposed to Syphilis.

The Columbian Exchange was a great resource; it allowed trades of good both to and from the Americas. The only problem is that along with the great resources it brought illnesses that eventually killed a lot of the natives, and Americans also. The Columbian exchange was good in many aspects, but many natives and Africans were used to being treated poorly but were treated way worse than in their own
