That is hundreds of years after smallpox was already decimating native populations in mini plagues....Your ignorance begs to be resolved. We know that Louis Pasteur brought the connection between germs and disease to light in the early 1860's; but, a century before, the idea that smallpox could be transmitted from bedding of infected people to otherwise healthy must have been well known. It just so happens that the conspirators documented the plot and the strategy for carrying it out:Except no one knew about germs until much later...Ah, yes, the diseases brought over by Europeans like small pox? Some rumors abound that germ warfare using small pox infected blankets helped to facilitate the demise of Indian men women and children. That must really be a bummer for all you Pro-Lifers out there to learn.Even if the original intent was to murder every single Native American, the diseases would have still killed more than the muskets could.Displaced? That is such a nice description of the genocidal campaign against the indians it makes me want to throw rose petals into the air. What you really mean is the wanton murder and thievery out of which this nation was born. Come on... say it. I know you can do it!
And that "superior technology" facilitated a more efficient means of genocide and thievery! ANd now that the blood has dried up blown and blown away as dust in the wind, you RW Pro-lifers can sit in front of your TVs and computers whining about the violence in Chuckago and the "thievery of your tax dollars.
There is far more of a genocidal campaign against Europeans today than any Native Americans directly dealt with.

General Amherst, July 8: "Could it not be contrived to Send the Small Pox among those Disaffected Tribes of Indians? We must, on this occasion, Use Every Stratagem in our power to Reduce them."
Colonel Bouquet, July 13: "I will try to inocculate the Indians by means of Blankets that may fall in their hands, taking care however not to get the disease myself."
Amherst, July 16: "You will Do well to try to Innoculate the Indians by means of Blanketts, as well as to try Every other method that can serve to Extirpate this Execreble Race."
Bouquet, July 19: "all your Directions will be observed."

And, as I have stated before on this argument, this was not some grassroots agenda to kill off the natives, this was the federal government killing natives while the populace at large was ignorant.
You haven't posited any evidence other than your own opinion. That doesn't account for much. Spurious talk of "grassroots agendas " and inoculations emanating from the Columbian era are mere diversions from the actions of evil men. It is the mindset and morbid expectations of these men that is on trial here. Their actions has been linked to the decimation of native Americans in virtually every corner of this country.. Your unsupported premise reminds me of a dope head who had a tube of heroin pulled from his rectum by the cops during a body search. When queried about it, he replied, "It ain't mine!"
