UNIT 2: GODS AND DRUGS

HONORS US HISTORY & PUBLIC HEALTH

THE HEALTH OF THE COLONIAL POPULATION VARIED BY RACE AND REGION. IN PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW JERSEY, AS IN THE REST OF THE COLONIES, NATIVE AMERICANS WERE STRUCK BY EPIDEMIC

DISEASES INTRODUCED FROM THE OLD WORLD, INCLUDING SMALLPOX AND MEASLES.

DISEASE IN COLONIAL AMERICA THAT AFFLICTED THE EARLY IMMIGRANT SETTLERS WAS A DANGEROUS THREAT TO LIFE. SOME

OF THE DISEASES WERE NEW AND TREATMENTS WERE INEFFECTIVE. MALARIA WAS DEADLY TO MANY NEW ARRIVALS.

IN THE LATE 1800 AND EARLY 1900'S, INFECTIOUS DISEASES WERE THE MOST SERIOUS THREAT TO HEALTH AND WELL BEING. THE MOST

COMMON CAUSES OF DEATH WERE THE RESPIRATORY DISEASES PNEUMONIA AND TUBERCULOSIS. THE SECOND MOST COMMON

CAUSE OF DEATH WAS THE CLUSTER OF DIARRHEAL DISEASES SUCH AS CHOLERA AND TYPHOID.

MORTALITY WAS HIGH FOR INFANTS AND SMALL CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY FOR DIPHTHERIA, SMALLPOX, YELLOW FEVER, AND

MALARIA.

MOST SICK PEOPLE TURN TO LOCAL HEALERS, AND USED FOLK REMEDIES. OTHERS RELIED UPON THE MINISTER-PHYSICIANS,

BARBER-SURGEONS, APOTHECARIES, MIDWIVES, AND MINISTERS;

A FEW USED COLONIAL PHYSICIANS TRAINED EITHER IN BRITAIN, OR AN APPRENTICESHIP IN THE COLONIES. ONE COMMON TREATMENT

WAS BLOOD LETTING. (REMOVAL OF BLOOD)

THE METHOD WAS CRUDE DUE TO A LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT INFECTION AND DISEASE AMONG MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS.

THERE WAS LITTLE GOVERNMENT CONTROL, REGULATION OF MEDICAL CARE, OR ATTENTION TO PUBLIC HEALTH.

UNIT 2

WARM UP

• What should the governments role be in Healthcare?

• Should religion play a role in healthcare?

A. Public Health Laws in Colonial New England

Puritan theology stressed God's role in all earthly occurrences. Disease was seen as God's chastisement for sin.

Public responses went beyond prayer.

Early New Englanders saw no inconsistency in using prayer, medicine, and law in attempting to preserve health.

The welfare of each was not irrelevant, but it was subordinate to the welfare of the whole. And law provided for the general welfare.

B. New York and the Mid-Atlantic Colonies

By 1700, almost every large town provided health care for the poor.

Individual freedom of movement was restricted by quarantine regulations.

Inhabitants of the colony benefited, at least theoretically, from the disease prevention brought by the restrictions.

Those who became ill and suffered the further deprivations wrought by nature and restrictive laws received care, even when they could not afford it on their own.

By the late 1680s, the city of New York not only paid the salary of a physician for the poor, it also frequently appropriated funds to pay private physicians for similar efforts.

C. Public Health in the South

In the South, public health was less developed during the colonial period than it was in New England and the mid-Atlantic states.

One, undoubtedly, was the rural character of the region.

The second unique feature of Southern life was the pervasiveness of slavery.

In a slave-maintaining society, the health of the population enslaved was less a matter of public responsibility than of the slaveowner's self-interest.

Towns paid local physicians to care for the poor.

• Should the US government make sure there is no religious influence in any government organization or sponsored event?

THE UNITED STATES CHRISTIAN COMMISSION (USCC) WAS AN ORGANIZATION THAT FURNISHED SUPPLIES,

MEDICAL SERVICES, AND RELIGIOUS LITERATURE TO UNION TROOPS DURING THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR. IT COMBINED

RELIGIOUS SUPPORT WITH SOCIAL SERVICES AND RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES. IT SUPPLIED PROTESTANT

CHAPLAINS AND SOCIAL WORKERS AND COLLABORATED WITH THE U.S. SANITARY COMMISSION IN PROVIDING

MEDICAL SERVICES.

THE CHRISTIAN COMMISSION WAS CREATED IN RESPONSE TO WHAT THE TROOPS SUFFERED IN THE FIRST BATTLE OF BULL RUN. ON
