Consequences of the Black Death

Population Consequences Urban populations recovered quickly Rural populations recovered slowly Pre-plague populations were reached in the 1500s or 1600s

Economic Consequences Shortage of laborers rising wages for peasants & artisans Demand for workers  standard of living rose! Decrease in financial distinctions  increase in social distinctions Difficulty & danger of obtaining goods  extreme inflation (increase in prices) The oppressed demanded fairer treatment Landlords stopped freeing their serfs serfs revolted & left the land

Social Consequences Lack of sufficient law enforcement personnel promoted anarchy BUT…. A growth in higher education & appreciation for health, medicine

Religious Consequences Promised cures, treatment, & explanations that they couldn’t give Church lost prestige, authority, & leadership Revolts against the church Severe shortage of clergy – functioned as nurses and consequently died. The church targeted the Jews for persecution

Religious Persecutions of the Jews – scapegoats Massacres and burnings By 1351, 60 major & 150 smaller Jewish communities had been exterminated Lepers were also targeted Jews expelled, moved to Poland & Lithuania

Music and Art Culture turned morbid (dark) Fascinated by death Death was impending & inevitable Death is a game, like chess! Danse Macabre = the dance of death: skeletons mingling with the living Shocking comparisons
