General Washington has commissioned you to draft a report regarding demographic ramifications of disease in the New World. As a learned doctor of the time, you do not frame disease in terms of germ theory, but you have an extensive knowledge of disease dating from 1492. Your report must include specific demographic details as well as how disease functioned in connection with other factors to shape historical experience and events through the start of the Revolutionary War. Also address disease issues during the Revolutionary War and offer General Washington a few (historically appropriate) suggestions for moving forward.
