And exactly what "slaughter" was that?
Most Indians died of disease, and never met a single "white man". Blaming Europeans for that is about as stupid as blaming the Chinese for the Black Death. You know, the disease that killed 50% of all Europeans (over 100 million people), and most had never met somebody from China.
False.
Not only did all Native Americans meet lots of "white man", but all the diseases came from the "white man" so required lots of contact in order to transmit the diseases.
And the Black Death did not come from China, but the Balkans.
But it was Italian traders who carried it all over Europe, so they do deserve the blame, just as the British who came to North America deserve the blame for the diseases they brought to North America.
