Question

Once the plague began to pass, what were some benefits for the survivors?

Question 10 options:

People began to question the social class system.


Fewer workers led to a rise in raising livestock and improved farming and technological advances.


A labor shortage meant that people could earn more and had more power.


All of the above.

Answer 1

All of the above.

The survivors of the plague earned large amounts of money from the work they did. This led to a change in the social class system because the formerly dirt-poor farm workers were moving into a middle class, which didn't exist at the time. People also wanted to find easier ways to farm now that they didn't have hundreds of barely-paid workers to work all day instead. This led to many advances in the farming industry.
