Actually, I have a degree from History... but it's from one of those liberal universities that doesn't teach kids about Talking Snakes in Science Class.
A degree from history, huh?
Your AA from "Franks College of Beauty" is no doubt impressive, Stalin, but you remain about the most ignorant poster on the board.
The 1837–38 epidemic spawned the narrative that white settlers spread “smallpox in the blankets” to clear American Indians off the land. Is it myth or fact?

The epidemic of 1837–38 also spawned a narrative of deliberate white genocide against the original Americans: “smallpox in the blankets”—white Europeans and white Americans deliberately promoting the spread of smallpox among unsuspecting American Indians to clear them off the land. Smallpox in the blankets is one of those stubborn legends that can’t be dismissed as myth because
it is founded in a mixture of limited historical fact and widespread circumstantial evidence. Based on Raphael Lemkin’s definition of “genocide”— a term he coined in 1944 to describe what the Turks had done to the Armenians during World War I, the Soviets had done to the Ukrainians and upper-class Poles in the interwar period and what the Nazis were then doing to the Jews— the United States had practiced
cultural genocide against American Indians since the 1870s, but had not practiced actual
physical genocide. The sole documented instance of smallpox in the blankets was approved by an Englishman and instigated by a brace of Swiss mercenaries.
Smallpox had broken out among the British garrison, and during a parley on June 24, 1763, Ecuyer gave besieging Lenape warriors several items taken from smallpox patients. “We gave them two blankets and a handkerchief out of the smallpox hospital,” Captain William Trent of the garrison militia wrote in his journal. “I hope it will have the desired effect.”
ROFL
In other words, it is a convenient lie that though false, supports the agenda of the racist pigs of the left.
There is no evidence of smallpox blankets ever being handed out. The entire bullshit fantasy you racist piles of shit base your lie on is a letter a BRITISH Officer in CANADA a fifty years prior to the foundation of the United States wrote.

The fort’s commander, Capt. Simeon Ecuyer, reported in a June 16 message to his superior, Philadelphia-based Col. Henry Bouquet, that the situation was dire, with local traders and colonists taking refuge inside the fort’s walls. Ecuyer wasn’t just afraid of his Native American adversaries. The fort’s hospital had patients with smallpox, and Ecuyer feared the disease might overwhelm the population inside the fort’s cramped confines.
Bouquet, in turn, passed along the news about the smallpox inside Fort Pitt to his own superior, Amherst, in a June 23 letter. In
Amherst’s July 7 response, he cold-bloodedly saw an opportunity in the disease outbreak. “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.”

That's it, nothing about blankets, no genocide, just one desperate group who were under siege after being slaughtered by the Indians for years.
You're a liar, a scumbag, an uneducated pile of shit.
