Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm researching the history of yellow fever in Philadelphia in the late 1700s, and I'm trying to figure out how many people died from the disease in 1793. Does anyone know where I can find reliable statistics for this time period? Any help would be much appreciated.

The exact number of people who died from yellow fever in 1793 is difficult to determine due to the lack of reliable records from the time. However, it is estimated that between 4,000 and 5,000 people died from the disease in Philadelphia alone, making it one of the deadliest outbreaks in U.S. history. The epidemic spread quickly throughout the city and caused widespread panic. People fled to the countryside to escape the disease, and the city’s population decreased from over 50,000 to less than 25,000. The death toll was even higher in other parts of the country, with some estimates putting the total number of deaths from the epidemic at around 10,000 people.

The yellow fever epidemic of 1793 was a devastating event for the people of Philadelphia, and its effects were felt throughout the country. Its impact was felt even more acutely by the African American community, who were disproportionately affected by the disease. The fear and panic caused by the epidemic led to the passage of the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1798, which restricted immigration to the United States from certain countries.

The yellow fever epidemic of 1793 was a tragic event that had long-lasting consequences, and the exact toll of the disease is still not known. It is estimated that between 4,000 and 10,000 people died from the disease in the United States, with the majority of casualties occurring in Philadelphia.

It is difficult to say exactly how many people died from yellow fever in 1793, as records from this time are incomplete. However, it is estimated that up to 5,000 people died from yellow fever in Philadelphia alone during that year. This was due to an outbreak of the disease that spread quickly through the city, largely due to overcrowding and poor sanitation. The death toll was so high that the city's population decreased by 25%. The outbreak had a devastating impact on the city, and it took many years for Philadelphia to recover.

The answer to the query on How many died from yellow fever in 1793 is not known with certainty. Estimates vary greatly, though some sources suggest that the death toll could have been as high as 5,000. The disease was especially prevalent in Philadelphia, where the population was estimated to have shrunk by up to 25% due to the yellow fever outbreak. In addition, the number of deaths attributed to the disease was likely much higher as it was not a notifiable disease and many were buried in unmarked graves.

In 1793, yellow fever was responsible for the deaths of 5,000 people in Philadelphia alone. The disease swept quickly through the city, leading to an estimated 10,000 deaths in the entire region. This was especially devastating because the city had recently experienced a major population boom, doubling in size since the beginning of the decade. The epidemic was so severe that President Washington was forced to leave the city, as many prominent figures in Philadelphia also fled the area. The epidemic was believed to have been caused by an influx of foreign goods from the West Indies, as the disease had originated from the tropics.

In 1793, an estimated 5,000 people died from yellow fever in Philadelphia alone. It is estimated that the total number of Americans who died from yellow fever in 1793 was between 8,000 and 10,000. The disease spread to other parts of the country too, so the exact number of fatalities is difficult to determine.
