ABSTRACT
Modern selves not only invented new ways of dressing, but also agitated for other changes. Given a shortage of labor after the plague, peasants started rebellions, rejecting their servitude and clamoring into the 16th century for new privileges and freedoms. Critics of the Church proliferated, too, encouraging Martin Luther in the early 16th century to post his critiques of the Church and start the Reformation. e Spanish, hoping to purify their faith and land, expelled the Jews in the 15th century and forced Moors to convert in the 16th century. Communities that had been held together with collective traditions were being destroyed-mainly due to religious divides.1
