Apart from nearly wiping out a large part of the population in Europe, the Black Death also affected the political structure of Europe. The peasant class was the largest class in Europe and the lords and kings were dependent on them for labor and other duties. When the plague, the peasants were among the first to fall to the plague and led to loss of good labor and the price for hiring labor now went up. From this the Ordinance of Labourers was passed to prevent increase in the paying laborers. Under this law, peasants would be paid the same wage they earned before the plague came and this caused further division between peasants and lords. Then there was the attack on the Church and royalty. Many blamed jews and lepers for causing the plague but they were under the protection of the Church and Crown whose was to protect outsiders such as they. An attack on them was also an attack on these two institutions. Finally even the Church and royalty fell victim to the plague as they too were not immune to the spread of the Black Death and this weakened the monarch during this time.

union blockade

explanation:

the union blockade in the american civil war was a naval strategy by the united states to prevent the confederacy from trading.

the blockade was proclaimed by president abraham lincoln in april 1861, and required the monitoring of 3,500 miles (5,600 km) of atlantic and gulf coastline, including 12 major ports, notably new orleans and mobile. those blockade runners fast enough to evade the union navy could only carry a small fraction of the supplies needed. they were operated largely by british citizens, making use of neutral ports such as havana, nassau and bermuda. the union commissioned around 500 ships, which destroyed or captured about 1,500 blockade runners over the course of the war.
