45,000 people were in Philadelphia before the yellow fever epidemic. 5,000 people died, so after the epidemic was over there was 40,000. Sad, isn't it?
Fever 1793, which was a yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia, resulted in the deaths of approximately 5,000 people out of a population of around 50,000 at the time. This means that about 10% of the city's population succumbed to the disease during the outbreak. The epidemic had a significant impact on the city's demographic and social structure.
In 1793, Philadelphia had a population of approximately 50,000 residents, making it the largest city in the United States at that time. By 1798, the population had grown to about 60,000. This growth was influenced by factors such as immigration and the city's status as a political and economic hub during the early years of the nation.
It was the Yellow Fever that struck Philadelphia in 1793. It was a pandemic, meaning that it spread throughout the country.
