Cherokee, like many other Native American's were susceptible to a variety of diseases carried by people from Europe; the unclean living standards practiced by that society is rife for disease. There has been documented proof that the European Settlers (White Americans) Intentionally spread the most fatal forms of smallpox among the Cherokee by giving them blankets from smallpox hospitals. This fatal form kills in 6 to 16 days with a 90% fatality rate.
Smallpox was one of the first sucess-stories of vaccinations. So many people had the vaccine that Smallpox mostly died out. It is now only found in laboratories, and maybe in some poorer countries.

In the 16th century many people died in epidemics of sweating sickness (possibly influenza). Many others died of smallpox. (Queen Elizabeth I almost died of it. However she was given the most advanced medical treatment for smallpox -she was wrapped in red cloth.) Even if you survived smallpox it could leave you disfigured with pox marks or blind. Syphilis was also rampant. Dysentery was also a killer and many women died in childbirth (usually because of infection). Also the plague was very common.
