    The Great Smallpox Epidemic of 1775-1782 affected many people. When a person caught smallpox they could already assume their lives were at ends. Smallpox came unexpectedly without a known cure. Throughout the book ,”Pox Americana”, by Elizabeth A. Fenn, she has a different story for each one of her chapters. Every story shares life experiences of different men that experience the same disease, variola or smallpox, in their lifetime. Elizabeth Fenn states, “Variola [small pox] was a virus of empire. It made winners and losers, at once serving the conquerors and determining whom they would be (Fenn, 275)”. Within this message she is saying that the deadly disease of smallpox hurt some more than others and due to death some people conquered while others perished. Elizabeth Fenn not only spoke of the disease itself but spoke primarily about what this disease did to shape historical events.…

    “He [Edward Jenner] was bled until pale, then purged and fasted repeatedly, until he wasted to a skeleton. He was denied solid food in favor of a vegetable drink that was supposed to sweeten the blood” (Kerns). Jenner’s miserable variolation experience made him realize how important it was to find a new way to prevent smallpox and helped him understand how his adversary worked. As a teenager, a milkmaid had told him, “Now I'll never take the Small pox, for I have had the Cow pox’’ (Unknown). Later in his life, it inspired the approach he took to eliminating smallpox.…

    Variola

    • 8 Pages

    The smallpox epidemic affected the economy, politics, and society of the thirteen English colonies in the eighteen-century. Smallpox also known as variola virus had a course of about one month leading to death or immunity and with strong remembrance of the pain. This highly contagious virus was transmitted through body fluids when in contact with an infected victim, and also through the clothing and the dried scabs of an infected person. The symptoms of an infected person showed after the eleventh day. These symptoms involved fever, headaches, backache, nausea, and malaise. Between the twelfth day through sixteenth day, the symptoms got worse, leading to macules, papules, vesicles and pustules. If during the tenth through the sixteenth day death didn’t occur, it was a sign of survival. During the twenty-fifth day scabs came in and the person was left with numerous scars, and some were blinded but had acquired immunity to smallpox for a lifetime. This epidemic did not discriminate peoples age, sex, race, religion, nor did it have any respect for social status, pregnancy or nutritional status - it affected everyone. This effect is described in the scholarly book of Elizabeth Fenn. The help control the spread of smallpox people used inoculation and quarantine. Two journal articles I have used are Henry R.Viets, "Some Features of the History of Medicine in Massachusetts during the Colonial Period (1620-1770)” and Cynthia, Scheider P., and Michael D. McDonald, “The King of terrors”. The primary source I have used is from William Quentin Maxwell, “A True state of the Small pox in Williamsburg.” In this paper, I will examine how smallpox changed the science in medicine as well as how it affected the society, economy and politics.…

    Smallpox In Boston

    Between April and December of 1721, over six thousand colonists in Boston contracted a world-wide feared viral infection known as smallpox. After the occurrence of over nine hundred deaths in Boston alone, the infestation of this disease in the colony became known as the Smallpox Epidemic. During the epidemic, it became widely acknowledged that survivors of smallpox were immune to later occurrences of the disease. This led to the consideration of the medical practice of inoculation—the deliberate introduction of the living smallpox virus to cause a mild case of the disease that would provide immunity. In contrast to the claims of its creators, inoculation was not always successful and did result in a small number of deaths in patients, but…
