Thank you We sneak then here's your shmoop du jour

00:05

brought to you by the new world on the old

00:07

one was getting pretty shabby Anyway i take a look

00:10

at the chart right here singhania and here's Our question

00:13

The pattern depicted on the graph from sixteen fifty two

00:15

eighteen fifty best serves as evidence of what other than

00:20

low budgets chart making And here your potential answers Yeah

00:23

decimation Okay so the redline representing the european population in

00:30

america shoots up sharply while the blue line representing the

00:33

population in the new world flat lines for a bit

00:36

then starts creeping on up there So one of these

00:38

lines mean Well one thing the graf didn't tell us

00:41

is that the native population of north america was crushed

00:46

The graft doesn't show any large dips which we would

00:49

see if this graph was showing us a population decrease

00:53

However the lines are both increasing so we know that

00:56

we're looking at a population increased This means we can

00:59

go ahead and cross out a way we can also

01:01

eliminate See population growth with in american colonies does flatline

01:05

for a bit But then it starts to rise though

01:07

saying that it was stagnant or lacking movement would contradict

01:10

the graph And this graph has an attitude so you

01:13

wouldn't want to contradict it All right Last on the

01:15

chopping block d sure the atlantic slave trade may have

01:19

influenced population of the old and new world but not

01:22

enough to influence the charts Pattern There's better answer here

01:25

So he's gotta go That means our better and correct

01:27

answer Is b the spike in european population scene in

01:30

the chart is the direct result of the introduction of

01:32

new world products and industry the natural resources of the

01:36

new world We're like a pair of jumper cables that

01:38

revved up the engine of the old world Sometimes europe

01:41

had a tough time feeding itself and new world crops

01:43

like potatoes and maize field a major european baby boom

01:47

by ensuring that people stayed healthy and well nourished long

01:50

enough to procreate As for europe having a tough time

01:54

feeding itself well maybe someone should try the airplane thing

01:56

You know make the spoon and their plane you know 00:02:01.45 --> [endTime] works every time on our kid
