Which statement describes a difference in how the age of exploration affected africa and the americas?

African communities were not devastated by European diseases as American communities were.

Explanation:

European trade with Asia and Africa had already spread diseases such as smallpox, measles and tuberculosis centuries before. However, those diseases were unknown for American native populations, and during the age of exploration, Europeans traveling to the discovered lands carried them with them. The Columbian Exchange, meaning Christopher Columbus's initial meeting with natives of the Caribbean, opened the trade of goods, and ignorantly of diseases as well.

congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
