The Columbian Exchange; the true collision of cultures and the fervent overlap and exchange of societal advancements. Although the exchange had positive aspects, such as introducing crops, livestock, and technology, there were also many mistakes made along the way. More specifically, the diseases, specifically smallpox that was introduced so haphazardly. The smallpox epidemic that was introduced into the Americas by the European travelers was devastating, especially to the natives. Killing off

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus disease causes the body's immune system to attack the healthy tissues accidently. It can affect the joints, skin, kidneys, brain, and other organs.

“Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is a chronic, inflammatory autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the body’s own structures” (Beattie, 2013). This means that the disease that has a slower onset, but it also has a long-term effect and the signs and symptoms will be continuous. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) can affect the entire body or any organ in the body, including: the kidneys, swelling of the joints, affecting the blood vessels and the skin.
