Oh, there's no doubt that we wiped out the Native Americans on purpose. Systematically. Over several hundred years. I didn't mean to imply otherwise. But even in that effort, disease played a part through purposeful infection.

- rthomas6 12y agoNo... but other people were, and those people wrote first-hand accounts of what happened. In history those are called "primary sources". That's how history is determined. And I don't know what else to call the depicted slaughter, the wars, and the forcible relocation to useless lands other than systematic eradication.
