__ How Might the Black Death Have Changed the Way People Viewed The World? By: Carson and Mac__ =Info About Black Death= · Sailors that travelled to Asia back to Europe brought Black death disease killing many sailors and people, most dying within 3-5 days · Black Death happened at least six times between 1347 and 1410, disease only came in spring · Plague spread quickly in Europe because hygiene, sanitation and living conditions were poor, (didn't know what bacteria was) - Spread through rats in the city - There was no prevention

=__Answer__= ===People viewed the world differently after the Black Death because the Priest couldn't tell them what caused it so people lost faith in God and Catholic Church. People speculated that God brought the black death upon them as a punishment. People also thought that the Devil brought the plague upon them. The church was telling people these things that weren't true, they even said the black death happened because of the plants being aligned. This made people guess and have no where to turn. They were always guessing. This resulted in people thinking that people were greater because they couldn't trust the church or God.=== = The Black Death wiped out over a third of the population which resulted in work openings which eroded the feudal system, it led to the lower class rising in wealth. The rise in less laborers and lower class getting paid led to people starting to think for themselves. The rise in wealth will happen because the owner of the land doesn't want to loose workers and they end up raising they're share to make them stay. = = =
