Propaganda words? You mean calling genocide genocide is propaganda? Of course, the US were the good guys, getting rid of the evil native americans, yeah, I got it. You're wrong, but I understand your desire to pretend it didn't happen and then if you do acknowledge it to pretend it was just a war.
Just like Iraq was a war. Who gives a feck about the Iraqis right? Oh, unless it serves your purpose, like with the Kurds.
How about this for "propaganda", right from Washington
"I would recommend, that some post in the center of the Indian Country, should be occupied with all expedition, with a sufficient quantity of provisions whence parties should be detached to lay waste all the settlements around, with instructions to do it in the most effectual manner, that the country may not be merely overrun, but destroyed.
But you will not by any means listen to any overture of peace before the total ruinment of their settlements is effected."
December 29th U.S. Cavalry Massacre More than 150 Lakota Native Americans Including Women and Children Near Wounded Knee Creek
Or this
"On
this day in history, 1890, the Seventh Cavalry opened fire on a Lakota Native American encampment with four rapid fire Hotchkiss guns, killing 150-300 of the group, including women and children. Along with the dead Lakota, around 25 of the cavalry troops themselves were killed with another 39 wounded, largely due to friendly fire, particularly from the Hotchkiss guns."
I could go on all day and show it's genocide.
Sometimes people on here claim the US HAD to go into Iraq in 2003 to rid the Iraqis of Saddam, because he killed lots of Iraqi people. Like these people gave a damn about the Iraqi people. Similar people call for the atomic bombing of Iraq.
