The Black Death caused cheaper land prices for people and more food for the average peasant. It also increased the income for the peasants and workers. As people were dying it left farm land unattended so the animals were killed which put more meat on the market and the land was used for pasture. As the peasants started to get wealthier the upper class tried to change some rules so the peasants couldn't act and dress as a higher class person. The Black Death caused families to split apart as some people left their home, so they didn't catch it from other family members or left so they didn't infect other members of the family.

We are unsure how many people were killed during the black death, but the website History Today and history extra says 50 million people died, history.com says that 20 million people died, infoplease says that 25 million people and the Pearson History 8 History textbook says 100 million people have died. This shows that historians are unsure as the results vary from 20-100 million.

People were dying so rapidly in large numbers from the Black Death that burial services could not keep up. After millions of deaths graveyards became full. In some countries most bodies were either thrown into a river or piled \ up in large holes in the ground. Corpses were taken from homes and left out in the street where they lay, possibly for days. Some bodies were were placed on boards and carried to the graveyard as coffins were not always available. Some families carried their own family to burial pits.

To prevent the black death most people burned aromatic herbs in their houses and wood to counter the fouled atmosphere. Some people that are religious believed that the plague was sent by God so the main prevention was prayer and other religious acts. The doctors that treated a sick patient was called a plague doctor. They wore a mask to prevent them from catching the disease which they thought was in the air. Before a doctor could treat a sick patient he/she had to ask if they had confessed. some doctors believed that bleeding the patient would help to release the poisons from the body. Some doctors also chose to lance the boils or buboes and covering them with a substance to draw off the poison.

Christians believed that Jews were associated with the devil and were the cause of all illness or disease. Christians accused Jews of poisoning public water supplies in an effort to ruin European civilization. Because of this Christians believed that Jews were to be blame for the black death. The Christians then went on a rampage by burning the Jews alive. Some Jews that wanted to be baptized were kept alive. Some Jewish children were taken from their families to be baptized while their families were taken to be burnt alive. If they had been poor and if the feudal lords had not been in debt to them, they would not have been burnt.

The black death originally started in China or central Asia in 1347. It began inside rats. Inside the rats they have bacteria called yersinia. Fleas that then bite a rat will take in Yersinia, but a toxin inside of it blocks the abdomen of the flea so it cant swallow the blood from the rat. The flea gets full and then moves on to a human and bites him/her. The flea then vomits the Yersinia onto the human and then the first human infected by the plague began infecting everyone else. The black death then spread to Caffa on trade ships which contained infected rats and infected people. People on the docks in Europe found dead people inside the ships and by the time they realized that people were dying because of disease it was too late and everyone who entered the ships was already infected.
