Answer:
a plague/ leptospirosis (?)
Step-by-step explanation:
"a Wampanoag village abandoned four years prior (to their arrival) after a deadly outbreak of a plague, brought by European traders who first appeared in the area in 1616. before 1616, the Wampanoag numbered 50,000 to 100,000, occupying 69 villages scattered throughout southeastern Massachusetts and eastern Rhode Island. The plague, however, killed thousands, up to two-thirds, of them. "
"rat urine and leptospirosis, the disease it spreads. The disease conveniently cleared coastal New England of Native Americans just prior to the Pilgrims’ arrival "
Depending on the choices the answer could be either 'a plague' or 'leptospirosis.' (the plague mentioned is leptospirosis, so the answer could be either)
