Excerpt from The Monroe Doctrine
“With the existing colonies or dependencies of any European power we have not interfered
and shall not interfere. But with the Governments who have declared their independence
and maintained it, and whose independence we have, on great consideration and on just
principles, acknowledged, we could not view any interposition for the purpose of
oppressing them, or controlling in any other manner their destiny, by any European power
in any other light than as the manifestation of an unfriendly disposition toward the
United States.”
“Our policy in regard to Europe, which we adopted at an early stage of the wars which have
so long agitated that quarter of the globe, nevertheless remains the same, which is not to
interfere in the internal concerns of any of its powers; to consider the government de
facto as the legitimate government for us; to cultivate friendly relations with it, and to
preserve those relations by a frank, firm, and manly policy, meeting in all instances the just
claims of every power, submitting to injuries from none.”

Essential Question
What types of changes did the
Black Death bring to Europe?
The Famine of 1315-1317
 By 1300 Europeans were farming almost all the
land they could cultivate.
 A population crisis developed.
 Climate changes in Europe produced three years
of crop failures between 1315-17 because of
excessive rain.
 As many as 15% of the peasants in some
English villages died.
 One consequence of
starvation & poverty
was vulnerability to
disease.
The Culprits
Yersinia pestis
bacteria
Flea
Rats
The Disease Cycle
Flea drinks rat blood
that carries the
bacteria.
Bacteria
multiply in
flea’s gut.
Human is infected!
Flea bites human and
regurgitates blood
into human wound.
Flea’s gut clogged
with bacteria.
Black Death’s Origins
1. What country did the plague originate from?
2. What year did a breakout occur in India?
3. How many years later did it breakout in Mecca?
Black Death’s Spread
1.
2.
According to the map, how many years did it take to spread throughout
much of Europe?
When did the plague hit London, England?
Symptoms
The Symptoms
Bulbous
Septicemic Form:
almost 100% mortality rate. The
disease reaches the bloodsream.
Medieval Treatments
Victims were terrified of the deadly disease. The plague
held a mortality rate between 30-40%. No one knew how to
prevent or treat the disease. Here were some common
treatments.
• Headaches were relieved by rose, lavender, sage and bay.
Sickness or nausea was treated with wormwood, mint, and balm.
Lung problems were treated with liquorish.
• bloodletting was commonly thought to be one of the best ways to
treat the plague. The blood that exuded was black, thick and vile
smelling with a greenish scum mixed in it.
• Black Death was treated by lancing the buboes and applying a
warm poultice of butter, onion and garlic. Various other remedies
were tried including arsenic, lily root and even dried toad… It says
toad.

Bring out your Dead
• The plague caused so
many deaths that
many city streets
were lined with the
dead.
• Plague pits: Mass
burials
• The next clip

dead were collected.

Black Death & the Church
•
•
•
•
Because of the societies deep belief in the church, when holy officials
became infected and died, peoples beliefs faltered and they were left in
confusion as to why everyone was being punished. They began to believe
the church was somewhat artificial started to revolt against the Feudal
System.
The Black Death affected religion in numerous ways. New religious sects
formed, such as the Flagellants in Europe. The Flagellants believed the
Black Death was a punishment form God, and sought to get back into His
good graces by harming themselves, namely in the from of whipping, to
represent Jesus' suffering.
Jews throughout Europe were targeted and scapegoated. People, having
no explanation for the Plague, falsely accused Jews of poisoning wells and
spreading the Black Plague in other ways. The accusations escalated to
violence, and many
Jews were driven from their homes or killed in massacres.
The Black Death also drove people away from, while drawing other people
closer to traditional religion. Some people, believing that God had
abandoned them to the plague, turned their back on religion. Others,
believing that only God could deliver them from the Plague, strongly
embraced religion.
Attempts to Stop the Plague
Persecution of Jews:
• After a short while, there arose a new idea among the
European Christian masses why the Black Death was
ravaging their land: because they allowed the Jews to
live in their midst.
• Many communities throughout Christian Europe
developed a formula and prescription of saving the
community from the plague lay in either converting,
exiling or murdering the Jewish population.
• From 1349 until about 1390, the Jewish communities of
France, Germany and England almost disappeared
completely.
Attempts to Stop the Plague
Persecution of Jews:
• Jews were generally less affected by the plague which
contributed to Christian belief that they were behind the
spreading of disease.
• And even if Jews died at a lesser rate, it can be attributed to
the sanitary practices Jewish law.
• For instance, Jewish law compels one to wash his or her
hands many times throughout the day.
• In the general medieval world a person could go half his or
her life without ever washing his hands. According to Jewish
law, one could not eat food without washing one’s hands,
leaving the bathroom and after any sort of intimate human
contact. At least once a week, a Jew bathed for the Sabbath.
Attempts to Stop the Plague
Persecution of Jews:
• The impact of the Black Death
on Jewish history cannot be
underestimated.
• It accelerated the movement of
from Western Europe to the
east, especially Poland, which
was almost exempt from the
Black Death.
• Even though the Jews will
eventually move back to
Western Europe, it will never
again be the center of Jewish
life it had been for almost four
centuries
Attempts to Stop the Plague
Flagellanti:
Self-inflicted “penance” for our sins! In order to show that
people truly believed in God, they would mutilate their
own bodies
The Black Death & Feudalism
• The Black Death killed so
many people that there were
many buried quickly without
ceremonies.
• In England alone, about 1,000
villages were abandoned.
• The Manor System fell apart
completely because there
weren't enough people left to
work in the fields.
• Those peasants who survived
the disease found that their
skills were highly demanded.
Suddenly, the can now
demand wages for their labor.
Medieval Art & the Plague
Medieval Art & the Plague
• The Black Death left behind an undeniable sense of
despair and sadness. This was manifested in many
cultural and artistic forms. The artistic expression at the
time mirrored people’s personal experience with death
• The Black Death powerfully reinforced realism in art. The
fear of hell became horribly real and the promise of
heaven seemed remote.
• Most historians interpret the emergence of the radical
death iconography as a manifestation of the traumas that
people suffered during the plague epidemics. However,
the iconography also can reflect the passion for life, how
strongly people were attached to it, and how bitter it was
to lose it.
Danse Macabre
• Danse Macabre is an artistic
genre of the late Middle
Ages that stresses no matter
one's station in life, the
Dance of Death unites all.
The Danse Macabre
consists of the dead
summoning representatives
from all walks of life to
dance along to the grave.
They were created to remind
people of the fragility of their
lives and how vain were the
glories of earthly life
A Little Macabre Ditty
“A sickly season,” the merchant said,
“The town I left was filled with dead,
and everywhere these queer red flies
crawled upon the corpses’ eyes,
eating them away.”
“Fair make you sick,” the merchant said,
“They crawled upon the wine and bread.
Pale priests with oil and books,
bulging eyes and crazy looks,
dropping like the flies.”
A Little Macabre Ditty (2)
“I had to laugh,” the merchant said,
“The doctors purged, and dosed, and bled;
“And proved through solemn disputation
“The cause lay in some constellation.
“Then they began to die.”
“First they sneezed,” the merchant said,
“And then they turned the brightest red,
Begged for water, then fell back.
With bulging eyes and face turned black,
they waited for the flies.”
A Little Macabre Ditty (3)
“I came away,” the merchant said,
“You can’t do business with the dead.
“So I’ve come here to ply my trade.
“You’ll find this to be a fine brocade…”
And then he sneezed……….!
The Mortality Rate
35% - 45%
25,000,000 dead !!!
