Cultural sharing, influence, and legacies among the people of the Americas involve the exchange and blending of ideas, beliefs, customs, and practices between different indigenous communities and later with European colonizers. These interactions shaped and transformed the cultures in the Americas, leaving behind various legacies.

To find new examples that you may not have in your notes, one helpful approach is to look for specific regions or time periods where cultural sharing and influence were particularly significant. Here are two examples:

1. Inca Empire (South America):
The Inca Empire, which thrived in the Andean region of South America from the 13th to the 16th century, experienced a rich cultural exchange due to its extensive conquests and dominance. One significant example of cultural sharing and influence is seen in the Inca's integration of conquered peoples into their empire. Rather than completely eradicating local cultures, the Inca encouraged the adoption of their language (Quechua) and religious practices, while also allowing the preservation of certain local customs and traditions. This blending of cultures created a unique cultural legacy in the Andean region.

2. Columbian Exchange (Americas):
The period following Christopher Columbus' voyage to the Americas in 1492, known as the Columbian Exchange, led to substantial cultural sharing and influence. This exchange involved the transfer of plants, animals, diseases, and even people between the Americas and Europe. For example, the introduction of European crops like wheat, sugar, coffee, and fruits to the Americas fundamentally changed the agriculture and diets of indigenous populations. Conversely, the exchange also resulted in the exportation of American crops such as corn, potatoes, and tobacco to Europe, significantly impacting European diets and economies. This cultural exchange through the Columbian Exchange had long-lasting legacies that continue to shape global cultures today.

Remember, these are just two examples, but there are many more instances of cultural sharing, influence, and legacies among the people of the Americas. By focusing your research on specific regions, time periods, or aspects of cultural exchange, you can continue to expand your understanding of this topic in AP World History.
