Women in the English Colonies, 1607–1715

The history of the early English colonies in North America can be divided into two familiar stories.

In the southern colonies of Virginia, Maryland, and the Carolinas, most of the white colonists were young poor people. They arrived as servants indentured to a small community of wealthy people who wanted cheap labor to grow tobacco on their plantations. They came hoping to work their way up, from a servant controlled by masters to an independent farmer or merchant. In the northern colonies, the area known today as New England, Puritan families settled in small towns. They wanted to build perfect religious communities away from the religious persecution they had lived under in Europe. English communities in the North and South cooperated and clashed with the Native people who already inhabited the lands they claimed. They also forcibly brought enslaved people from Africa who were made to work in building the new societies women were not able to take part in many things, such as voting, owning land, or even holding a spot in political office. If a woman was not married, then their fathers held the rights to them until married and were taken into the care of their husband. The only women allowed to escape the control of a man were widows. Even though women were not wed to participate in government. But they play roles in this period. Women played critical roles in the American Revolution and subsequent War for Independence. ... These women, known as camp followers, often tended to the domestic side of army organization, washing, cooking, mending clothes, and providing medical help when necessary. Sometimes they were flung into the vortex of battle. Women also participated by boycotting British goods, producing goods for soldiers, spying on the British, and serving in the armed forces disguised as men.

We know there are many negative consequences of the Black Death. In what way may it have been a good thing for some groups of pe
Fantom [35]

Answer:

All the conditions were right for an epidemic. Doctors were powerless against infectious disease. People were weakened by war and harvest failures. Germs, the fleas which carried them, and the rats which carried the fleas, flourished in the dirty towns. Busy trade routes carried the plague from one place to another.

The plague arrived at Melcombe Regis in Dorset in June 1348 and it spread throughout the south of England. In 1349 it reached Wales, Ireland and the north of England. By 1350, it had made it to Scotland. Estimates suggest as much as half the population died.

The Black Death affected the way people thought about life in many different ways. Some lived lives perceived to be wild or immoral, others fell into deep despair, whilst many chose to accept their fate.

Historians suggest that the Black Death helped to cause a religious movement in the shape of the Lollards, the end of the feudal system and the Peasants' Revolt.

You may wish to study the facts of Medicine through time, and to compare the Black Death to the Plague of 1665.

Causes of the Black Death

Poor medical knowledge. Medieval doctors did not understand disease, and had limited ability to prevent or cure it. So, when the plague came, doctors were powerless to stop it.

Causes of the Black Death

Poor public health. Medieval towns had no system of drains, sewers or rubbish collections. In such dirty conditions, rats lived and germs could grow.

Causes of the Black Death

Bad harvests. After 1300, there was climate change and harvests failed. Also, during the Hundred Years' War armies used a tactic called 'chevauchée' where soldiers roamed around destroying houses and crops so it is possible that, when the plague hit, people were not as healthy and strong as they could have been.

Causes of the Black Death

Global trade. By the later Middle Ages, merchants were trading world-wide. One route took silk and spices from China to Baghdad, and from there to the Crimea in the Black Sea, where the goods were bought by Italian merchants for sale all over Europe. Many historians believe that the plague originated in China, and followed the trade routes.

Causes of the Black Death

Rats. Most historians believe that the Black Death was caused by strains of the bubonic plague. The plague lived in fleas which lived on black rats. They gave the disease to the rats. When the rats died, the fleas hopped off onto humans.

Causes of the Black Death

Victims of the Black Death from 1349. The Black Death (1348 - 1350) had killed many people which meant there was a shortage of workers and wages went up.

Medieval European medicine was very different from our modern concept of medicine. There was no knowledge of germs, and only relatively basic tools to diagnose and treat illness. Much of medicine was, at best, based on ancient Roman and Greek ideas of the 'humours'. The ideal was to balance specific fluids known as 'black bile', 'yellow bile', blood and phlegm (the fluids made by your ear, nose and throat). To be in a bad or good humour was evidence of how healthy you were! Other doctors would release "evil spirits" by trepanning (drilling a hole in your head to release them). In this context it is not surprising that the causes listed below emerged.

Medieval doctors were not certain what caused the plague, but believed it could be the result of:

the movements of the planets

a punishment from God

bad smells and corrupt air

enemies who had poisoned the wells

staring at a victim

wearing pointed shoes

strangers to villages too were blamed

The spread of the Black Death

The Plague

The bubonic plague was a painful disease, with black buboes or swellings, in the groin and armpits, which lasted up to a week. There was some chance of surviving if the buboes burst. If the buboes burst of their own accord it was a sign that the victim might recover.
