Why did the Black Death effect the clergy?

The Black Death had many affects on religion. Most people believed it was God punishing them for their wicked ways and would go round whipping themselves to try and please God. Nobody knew anything about hygiene and good living conditions, so they believed a lot about religion whereas nowadays we know the truth about how the Black Death was caused. However, the Black Death affected religion for a small minority as they believed in God and when the "good people" such as priests, died alongside others, they no longer found themselves believing.


What were rights for African Americans regarding religion in the north?

There were no rules about what religion black people up north had to follow. Freedom of religion was generally respected, although members of some faiths did actively try to convert people from other religions. Most black people up north were Christians; some were Catholic, but most tended to be Protestant. (Many years later, some black people would gravitate to Islam or to Judaism, but not in the era around the Revolutionary or Civil Wars-- not until the 1900s.)Although black people up north could and did choose the religion they wanted to practice, even in the northern states, many of the churches were de facto segregated (there was no law about it; it was, sadly, a custom). Thus, because they did not feel welcome at white churches, some people of color started their own-- the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church is one of the oldest majority-black denominations, going back to the early 1800s.

How did the Black death effect peoples beliefs?

Because of the societies deep belief in the church, when holy officials became infected and died, peoples beliefs faltered and they were left in confusion as to why everyone was being punished. They began to believe the church was somewhat artificial started to revolt against the Feudal System. I suppose you cold say it was the Black Death that led to the Peasants Revolt. ----- The Black Death affected religion in numerous ways. New religious sects formed, such as the Flagellants in Europe. The Flagellants believed the the Black Death was a punishment form God, and sought to get back into His good graces by harming themselves, namely in the from of whipping, to represent Jesus' suffering. They traveled from town to town, going to all the churches, while whipping themselves and praying for salvation, drawing more followers as they passed through inhabited areas. Jews throughout Europe were targeted and scapegoated. People, having no explanation for the Plague, falsely accused Jews of poisoning wells and spreading the Black Plague in other ways. The accusations escalated to violence, and many Jews were driven from their homes or killed in massacres. The Black Death also drove people away from, while drawing other people closer to traditional religion. Some people, believing that God had abandoned them to the plague, turned their back on religion. Others, believing that only God could deliver them from the Plague, strongly embraced religion. The Black Death affected religion in Europe in many ways, spawning new religion, fueling religions persecution, and simultaneously drawing people to religion while driving others away.
