They vast majority of the Native population were wiped out by diseases brought by the early explorers. By the time the pilgrims landed in Plymouth they found entire Native settlements that had been wiped out by diseases. This is mainstream history.
Yes, diseases were part of the problem, so where the fact that Natives were being worked to death digging for gold. This is why Bartomele de las Casas recommended bringing slaves from Africa to start with, because the enslavement by Spain was so devastating.
The Native Americans that weren’t wiped out by diseases got conquered. They were a Stone Age people that time ran out on. Civilization came knocking and they acted like bitches and got their asses handed to them.
Wow, seriously? Hey, the 19th century called, they want their Social Darwinism back.
I like how you seamlessly shifted away from the false claim that YT people created the slave trade to YT people genocided the peace-loving Indians.
They did create the slave trade. Again, look up Bartomele.

One persistent point of criticism has been Las Casas's repeated suggestions of replacing Indian with African slave labor. Even though he regretted that position later in his life and included an apology in his
History of the Indies,
[110] some later criticism held him responsible for the institution of the
transatlantic slave trade. One detractor, the abolitionist
David Walker, called Las Casas a "wretch... stimulated by sordid avarice only," holding him responsible for the enslavement of thousands of Africans.
[111] Other historians, such as
John Fiske writing in 1900, denied that Las Casas's suggestions affected the development of the slave trade.
Benjamin Keen likewise did not consider Las Casas to have had any substantial impact on the slave trade, which was well in place before he began writing.
[112] That view is contradicted by
Sylvia Wynter, who argued that Las Casas's 1516 Memorial was the direct cause of Charles V granting permission in 1518 to transport the first 4,000 African slaves to
Jamaica.
