Consequences of the Black Death
I believe that the Black Death had many consequences, good and bad, on European history. In example, it killed thousands of people, afterwards there were revolutions that led to more freedom for peasants and the death made people either less or more religious. So in ways it was a great help to society as in others it was a great disaster. The Black Death did kill thousands of people, but England had been greatly overpopulated before the plague. The loss of all those people opened up more land and resources to the survivors. The population loss during the Black Death also "led to increased productivity by resorting a more efficient balance between labor
The peasants revolted and the statute didn't help land owners. Peasants revolted shortly after the plague; nevertheless they gained more freedom and respect from it. It killed thousands of people, but the large number of people was already over crowding the land. " This decline in people meant an increase in per capita wealth. Of course landlords didn't like the idea of peasants being paid so well and tried to put in to affect laws preventing it. Because of the shortage of workers after the plague, peasants' wages rose greatly. Peasants and the working class now held power. On being the English Statute of Laborers (1351), which tried to freeze salaries and wages at prices before the plague. People either became more or less religious during the Black Death. So the Black Death could be looked at as a great help to the history of Europe, or as a great disaster. " While others, however, began to have a lack of faith, in the church as well as in their society leaders and in hope for the future. So the wither a help or a harm to history is on how you look at the consequences of the Black Death. The Black Death did help the church enlarge, it also help loss some members.
