    I was specifically referring to the smallpox, actually. Native Americans did not have viral infections, so they did not know how to fight it. I believe the Azteks came up with antibiotics at this point already, as bacterial disease was common.

    Also the Trail of Tears, but that was later.

      Uhh, citation needed lol. Certainly they did not have smallpox, but do you really think virii didn’t exist in the Americas?

      Everything you wrote is nonsense at best, and conspiracy level rewriting of history at worst.
