Disease and discrimination are processes linked to class in the
early American colonies. Many early colonists fell victim to mass
sickness as Old and New World systems collided and new social,
political, economic, and ecological dynamics allowed disease to
spread. Dale Hutchinson argues that most colonists, slaves,
servants, and nearby Native Americans suffered significant health
risks due to their lower economic and social status. With examples
ranging from indentured servitude in the Chesapeake to the housing
and sewage systems of New York to the effects of conflict between
European powers, Hutchinson posits that poverty and living
conditions, more so than microbes, were often at the root of
epidemics.
