Position:Home>Arts & Humanities> Did the black death ever reach america?Question: Did the black death ever reach america?i was wondering about this and thought that if the plague was in asia and europe did it ever go to the americas Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Lyle is correct. Here is a site... http://www.dhpe.org/infect/plague.html... The other answers also are incorrect in saying there was no contact with the Americas and Europe during the plague. The plague of London killed over tens of thousands of people and occurred in 1665. The American colonies enacted quarantines, and I couldn't find (in a cursory search) whether there was a big problem. More importantly was the Chinese plague in 1899. A ship brought that to San Francisco and the plague was here! It continued until around 1910. |
