History of North America

One effect of the migration Europeans to North America in 1700s and 1800s was?

The spread of epidemic diseases to the indigenous populations.

As Europeans settled in North America, they brought with them diseases to which the native population had no immunity. These diseases, such as smallpox, measles, and influenza, spread rapidly among the indigenous peoples and decimated their populations. In some cases, entire tribes were wiped out. The spread of disease was a major factor in the decline of Native American culture and society in North America.
