Before Columbus, the parasites that cause malaria were rampant in Eurasia and Africa but unknown in the Americas. Transported in the bodies of sailors, malaria may have crossed the ocean as early as Columbus's second voyage. Yellow fever, malaria's frequent companion, soon followed. The deadly smallpox, malaria, yellow fever, gonorrhea, chlamydia, common cold, measles, influenza and chickenpox killed up to 90% of the native population.
During the yellow fever epidemic of 1793 in Philadelphia, most schools were closed due to the outbreak. However, some wealthy families sent their children to private tutors or alternative locations away from the city to continue their education. Generally, access to schooling was limited and primarily available to those who could afford to seek out private instruction. The majority of the population, particularly the poor and those affected by the disease, were unable to attend school during this time.

When Europeans started to explore and populate the Americas, they brought with them several deadly diseases that killed off most of the Native American populations, such as smallpox, scarlet fever and tuberculosis. This is known as the Native American Population Crash.In order to build sustainable colonies in the Americas, most European powers (Spain, Portugal, France and England) brought slaves from Africa to man the fields, mines and eventually, shops and factories in the New World.

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?
An epidemic of yellow fever and cholera killed one-fifth of the population.
When a person got the Black Death they had raging fevers. Also black swellings grew at their necks and joints. Many victims die within 24 hours. It killed 25 million people or one third of Europe's population. And fleas from infected rats spread one form of the plague. When a person got the Yellow Fever they experienced pains in the head, back and limbs accompanied by a high fever. The person's skin and eyes turned yellow and also they vomited black clots of blood. Death followed soon after. The fever was spread by mosquitoes feeding off of an infected person then feeding off of a healthy person. It also killed ten percent of Philadelphia's population in the first month alone.
