The finial reason why colonist of Jamestown died so quickly was because of settler skills. DOC C shows that in the original settlers they lacked in many major categories. One of those main categories is that there were not enough doctors. There were also not enough laborers either which caused all the work not to get done. In conclusion the reason why most of the settlers died was because of the environment.
At the time no technology existed to deal with the disease. The disease actually hit England six times by the end of the century. ”The Black Death had a huge impact on society. Fields went unploughed as the men who usually did this were victims of the disease. Harvests would not have been brought in as the manpower did not exist.
All the European leaders and their crew men worked hard to fix Dorantes ship but were not successful, which forced both groups to stay on the island with the Capoques and the Hans. Cabeza and his men stayed with one and Dorantes and his crew stayed with the other. Winter made things go horrible since food was so scarce. As time went by the Indians turned the Europeans into their slaves making them do duties such as dig for roots, carry firewood, and fetch water. This continued for about six years they were beaten with sticks, slapped in the face, and killed because the women
Around like the late 1900’s the mangarevan culture was dead and it was really sad because the island had 5,000 people before the two men came and completely dropped to almost none at all. But you have to understand that not only because the men came that the island became almost extinct; but also because when the people moved to mangareva they had to do trading and stuff so that they wouldn’t die out on the island and also they had to build their houses for them to live and also their canoes to do trade with the other islands like Henderson island and pitcairn island; but in order to do their trade they had to cut down the trees that were in the beautiful forest and make their houses, canoes, and also to trade the wood with the other islands, because maybe the other islands didn’t have any wood or big trees. So not only did the men ruin the culture of the mangravians; but also the mangravians themselves ruined their island by cutting down the trees and they ended up by having a deforestation, and when they didn’t have anymore trees to trade they started to become cannibals because they couldn’t trade their wood
They faced many hardships such as knowing little about how to hunt for game or how to plant crops on this new soil. As a result, many succumbed to malnutrition and diseases. In Massachusetts, for example, the Plymouth settlers, spent most of their first winter (1620–21) on board the Mayflower. It took a great deal of time to clear the land and erect adequate shelters. The following winter, the Pilgrims were able to live on land but it was under extremely primitive conditions.
The British crown had given them land, but as the construction for the railroad began, the buffalo began to go elsewhere not having enough land to live on. The Natives had relied on the buffalo hunt for many years, so when the buffalo stopped coming, the Natives didn’t have much resources to live on with, and many of there population died. The Native Americans also did not have enough land to freely farm, and could not take food from the land like they used to, because they did not own it. Also the smallpox epidemic had killed many people from there tribes, which led to them not having enough people to hunt and had made them sign more treaties to survive through the
Throughout the Civil War, medical knowledge was extremely basic. Many doctors didn’t understand infection, and those who did, did little or nothing to prevent it. Approximately two thirds of the soldiers died from infections as a result of unsound hygiene and sanitary conditions. Disease was extremely prominent in Civil War camps because of the disgusting conditions that the soldiers had to live in. Even though during the civil war, many medical advancements were being made, they were not being made quick enough to save approximately 400,000 soldiers who died from disease and infection.
A marsh is a low lying area of wet land that is sometimes unhealthful for people. The water around Jamestown was dirty and salty. The land was not good for farming. And mosquitoes carried a deadly disease called malaria. Within 8 months, disease killed most of the settlers.
There were many problems African Americans were facing before the New Deal became an instrument in the saving of the United States economy. Because of the Depression, African Americans workers were pushed out of jobs, favoring White workers. Because Blacks were last hired and first fired, it made it easier for them to lose their jobs at faster rates. The near subjugation of the tenant farming system destroyed many work opportunities for blacks to have any work because many black agricultural workers did not have other job skills, they were highly unlikely to get employment elsewhere. Many black farmers could not obtain contracts for their crops.
Small Pox was the major reason of deaths at that time and in a century the population decreased to 2500 from that of 25,000. The diseases were brought in by the Europe through Colonists. At that time there were many wars fought among the Colonists and the Natives. The Natives although successfully fought against the Colonists but they lack power and weapons compared to them. (U-S-History) The battles decreased the Native Americans by almost 400 to 700.
