The native Americans were displaced by a technologically superior people. They fought back and lost.
Europe is being destroyed by an inferior people with the permission of the Europeans.
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.
Even if the original intent was to murder every single Native American, the diseases would have still killed more than the muskets could.
There is far more of a genocidal campaign against Europeans today than any Native Americans directly dealt with.
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.
Except no one knew about germs until much later...
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:
1763
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."
