Chapter 14 pg.403-417

I thought the reading was very boring. Only a few things caught my attention for example all the powerful people wore gold. I also enjoy wearing gold. Lots of people traded gold and silver. The empires made a huge impact and without them we wouldn't be where we are today. Sugar was also important to everyone.Sugar was how people made there money. The chapter is also kind of depressing because it talks about the Great Dying when lots of people got sick and died from diseases. 90% of the people were Native Americans. The last thing that seemed funny to me was that Columbus sent recipes to people.
