How about the millions of Native killed for manifest destiny? Did God sanction this attempt at genocide?
Genocide of Native Americans is a myth, designed to recruit weak minded folks who can be persuaded to hate America.
The white man gave the Indians blankets.
The Indians gave the white man tobacco.
It is a safe guess that the ravage caused by tobacco is far greater than the damage caused by blankets.
The genocide of one native tribe was committed by another tribe, but no way to know for sure, because they were too busy killing each other to write history.
There is no documentation of the infamous Amerherst-diseased blankets story.
The Left never needs proof if the story indicts America.

The majority of Indian deaths was the result of diseases inadvertently carried by the first explorers.
Whatever the original number, historians agree that infectious disease brought about 75-95% decline after European settlement began.
